Join NLIHC’s Webinar on Emergency Rental Assistance: Looking Back and Moving Forward, January 28

Join NLIHC, University of Pennsylvania’s Housing Initiative at Penn, and the Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy at New York University on Thursday, January 28 at 2 pm ET for a webinar on lessons learned and successes in designing and implementing emergency rental assistance programs. Over the past year, numerous state and local governments created or expanded emergency rental assistance programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis. University of Pennsylvania’s Housing Initiative at Penn, the Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy at New York University, and NLIHC surveyed over 200 program administrators to understand how choices in program design and implementation have impacted key outcomes, including how many tenants applied for assistance and how many households were served.

The webinar will highlight early findings and lessons learned from the survey and other relevant research and provide concrete recommendations on how programs can move forward to efficiently and effectively use the $25 billion of emergency rental assistance from the COVID-19 relief package.
