NLIHC’s End Rental Arrears to Stop Evictions (ERASE) webinar series highlights the successes of 2022-2023 ERASE Cohort members in supporting local tenant organizing, passing and enforcing tenant protections, and increasing funding for emergency rental assistance (ERA) programs. The three-part series provides state and local partners and community stakeholders with information about the various tenant protections pursued by Cohort members and the successful advocacy strategies used to increase tenant rights and housing stability. The next webinar, “State Legislative Efforts to Advance Tenant Protections,” will be held from 3 to 4:15 pm ET on July 27. Register today for the upcoming webinar!
In the webinar, attendees will learn about 2022-2023 ERASE Cohort members’ successful efforts to pass tenant protections at the state level. Presenters will discuss the different types of tenant protection legislation they pursued, strategies used to pass protections, the various challenges they faced in their work, and how they overcame them.
Background:
The 2022-2023 ERASE Cohort is a group of state and local nonprofit partners that are conducting on-the-ground partnership development, capacity building, outreach and education, policy reform, and systems-change work to ensure that the gains made in setting up systems to provide emergency rental assistance and prevent evictions are sustained.
Each of the three webinars in the series will focus on members’ unique efforts to enact and enforce tenant protections or extend emergency rental assistance and highlight the various strategies used to accomplish their initiatives.
