The eviction moratoriums are scheduled to end August 31. As soon as that happens families all over the country will move into crisis territory.
The Justice in Government Project has put together an incredibly useful guide to the American Rescue Plan Act’s funding matrix. You can find it here. This guide has links to both functional and educational materials that is useful not only to tenants, but to landlords who want to help tenants with assistance and to local governments who want to ensure that evictions and homelessness doesn’t escalate in their jurisdictions. Specifically, the latest updated treasury guidance on rental assistance has helpful FAQs and walkthroughs on how to access this funding allocations and payments from the ground level.
This will be a useful resource. Contact Caleb or Lynn Foster (emails above) for further information. Caleb Alexander-McKinzie He/Him/His Outlaw Legal Society/The Van
