Background and Discussion: The U.S. Treasury Emergency Rental Assistance Program was established via the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. Jurisdictions were required to meet specific performance targets by September 2021. Those unable to meet targets or who chose to voluntarily relinquish a portion of their award returned funds to Treasury. Harris County met performance targets and was therefore eligible to receive reallocation of funds from other jurisdictions. We applied for reallocation in November 2021, were informed of the award in December 2021, and received funds on February 25, 2022
Expected Impact: Eviction prevention for approximately 2,000 families.
Alternative Options: Return funding to US Treasury.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
X Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
_ Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
