However, without a dedicated and sufficient funding source, it is unclear how long these program can continue. Insufficient funding could result in the disappearance of critical infrastructure and knowledge about how to implement an emergency rental assistance program. @NLIHC

🚨Wrote a report with @whatseatingrebs @HIatPenn and @AGAurand. The report uses survey data and interviews to explore what elements of Treasury’s ERA program are being continued and what factors contributed to those decisions. Report at: https://t.co/0pslXkVWZq. Some findings⬇️

6) Program administrators are continuing their work with courts. More than 40% of survey respondents indicated their jurisdiction plans to retain eviction diversion services and maintain partnerships with courts beyond the conclusion of Treasury’s ERA program.

Only 1 in 4 households who qualify for housing assistance receives it, and most are left to fend for
themselves. A #Reconciliation package with #BuildBackBetterAct investments in rental assistance puts us on a path to end homelessness once and for all. #HousingInvestmentsNow

Imagine acting w/greater urgency and more decisiveness on whether an hour of darkness should be in morning or afternoon than on homelessness, hunger, child poverty, racial injustice, climate change. Looking at you, U.S. Senate. ��#DaylightSavingTime

[National Low Income Housing Coalition @NLIHC]

It’s now or never! We cannot let Congress neglect this opportunity! Contact your senators and representatives TODAY, and urge them to ensure historic housing investments remain in the #BuildBackBetter Act!

[National Low Income Housing Coalition @NLIHC]

We Advocate for #BuildBackBetter because:

✅This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
✅Stable housing is tied to healthcare, education & economic mobility!
✅#HousingisInfrastructure!

No Matter What, robust housing investments MUST be included!

🚨It’s all on the line (again). We won this same fight 3 months ago. Let’s do it again. Call your member of Congress RIGHT NOW. Here’s how: https://t.co/kOFbK7B2W1

[Diane Yentel @dianeyentel]

It would be deeply shortsighted for the White House and Congress to cut targeted housing investments from a bill meant to prioritize “human infrastructure.” Stable, affordable housing is the foundation on which all other priorities in the bill rest.

[Sophie Siebach @s_siebach]

Millions of households are one financial shock away from eviction & homelessness. Everyone deserves a housing safety net; $90B for rental assistance for people with the lowest incomes is a big step toward providing it! #Housing4UsAll. https://t.co/5NlZehISCE

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

The National Association of Realtors and their corporate PAC fought, from Supreme Court to Congress, to kill the common-sense, life-saving #EvictionMoratorium.

Renters may not have a multi-million-dollar PAC behind them, but I will never stop fighting to save their lives. ⬇

I’ve heard this from landlords again and again throughout the pandemic, and have yet to see a shred of evidence. No data, no proof, just contemptuous anecdotes and stories about the new mythical welfare queen.

[Diane Yentel @dianeyentel]

UPDATE: @SpeakerPelosi will also join our call on Monday! Join us for a conversation on what Congress can do to prevent evictions, get ERA money out faster, and enact long-term solutions.

A devastating failure to act in a moment of crisis. As Delta variant surges &our understanding of its dangers grow, WH punts to Congress in final 48 hrs & House leaves for summer break after failing to protect families from losing homes & ability to stay safe

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

For some on Capitol Hill, it’s not about what we can do for our country, but what the country can do for their vacation.

Call your member of Congress and tell them to stay at work until we finish the job.

States haven’t released rent relief. We need to extend the moratorium.
