New Guidance for Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA), Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV), and Health Centers
The American Rescue Plan (ARP) represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to significantly reduce homelessness in some communities and end it in others. These historic resources should be prioritized for the most vulnerable people, including the rising unsheltered population living in tents and cars.
USICH interviewed several communities about how they’re implementing ARP funding for emergency rental assistance (ERA), emergency housing vouchers (EHV), and health centers. The resulting guidance, "Getting It Done: The American Rescue Plan Way," is intended to help other communities maximize the impact of this funding to prevent and end homelessness.
About USICH: The U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness is the only federal agency with the sole mission of preventing and ending homelessness in America. We coordinate with our 19 federal member agencies, state and local governments, and the private sector to create partnerships, use resources in the most efficient and effective ways, and implement evidence-based best practices.
