With an estimated total program funding of $40 million, the EPGP anticipates awarding approximately 25 grants, with individual awards ranging from $500,000 to $2.5 million. Interested applicants must submit their proposals by 11:59:59 PM Eastern time on August 20, 2024, and can reach out to Randall Sisco and D'Andre Chambers at EvictionProtectionGrant@hud.gov for further information.

    The Eviction Protection Grant Program (EPGP), launched by HUD in 2021, provides legal assistance at no cost to low-income tenants facing eviction. With increased funding in 2022, EPGP supports 21 grantees across 19 states, delivering vital services to over 35,000 households. The program aims to prevent evictions, particularly among historically underserved communities, by providing education, legal representation, and support services. Key objectives include funding nonprofit organizations, addressing the needs of diverse populations, and creating a robust evidence base on effective eviction prevention strategies. Grantees offer various services, including housing court navigation and collaboration with judicial authorities to establish eviction diversion programs. Recent evaluations demonstrate that legal representation significantly reduces the likelihood of eviction, improving tenants' outcomes in housing stability and legal engagements. The program not only assists tenants legally but also facilitates connections to social services, thereby mitigating the adverse effects of eviction. As the program expands, evaluations will inform future policy decisions, ensuring responsive and effective measures in evictions and tenant protections. This initiative embodies a critical government response to the eviction crisis exacerbated by economic strains, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
