Register Today to Attend Livestream of NLIHC’s National Convening on Emergency Rental Assistance!

Register today to attend the livestream of “Emergency Rental Assistance: The Path to a Permanent Program,” a national convening organized by NLIHC’s ERASE project. The event will take place on October 17 from 8:30 am to 5 pm. We have reached in-person capacity for this event.

During the convening, we will share lessons learned from ERA implementation and discuss the programmatic, policy, and system changes needed at the local, state, and federal levels to ensure sustainability and to meet the needs of all low-income renters. The program will feature presentations on national research findings regarding ERA program implementation; panel discussions with ERASE cohort members, program administrators, federal partners, and tenants on how to ensure ERA programs are visible, accessible, and preventive; and sessions focused on developing recommendations for model program design, policy reforms, and advocacy priorities to sustain ERA and ensure the permanency of eviction prevention infrastructure developed through ERA programs. 

The event will include special remarks from Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Tim Kaine (D-VA). Other special guest panelists will include:

  • Beth Cooper, U.S. Senate Banking Committee
  • Erika Poethig, Special Assistant to the President for Housing and Urban Policy, White House Domestic Policy Council
