Join us on August 24 from 3 to 4:15 pm ET for the final webinar in NLIHC’s three-part End Rental Arrears to Stop Evictions (ERASE) summer webinar series! The webinar, “Efforts to Sustain Emergency Rental Assistance,” will highlight ERASE cohort members’ successful work maintaining and building upon components of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) Program in their jurisdictions. Webinar attendees will learn how members of the Minnesota Housing Partnership successfully advocated for the passage of $115 million for the Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program and how the King County Bar Association managed not only to increase funding for ERA in King County, Washington, but ensure that funding was targeted to best serve renters in the process of being evicted. The webinar will also feature the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania’s work to create court mediation programs in various counties throughout Pennsylvania. Register today.
The 2022-2023 ERASE cohort comprises 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 webinars in the series focuses on members’ unique efforts to enact and enforce tenant protections and extend emergency rental assistance while also highlighting the strategies used to accomplish these goals.
