Eviction Protection Grant Program

The 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act, Div. L, Title II - HUD Appropriations Act, 2021, provided $20,000,000 for competitive grants to nonprofit or governmental entities to provide legal assistance (including assistance related to pretrial activities, trial activities, post-trial activities and alternative dispute resolution) at no cost to eligible low-income tenants at risk of or subject to eviction. The collection of information in association with the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will be used by the Office of Policy Development and Research to meet its program monitoring obligations under the Act, including ensuring that eligible tenants living in rural areas are served. The House of Representatives Explanatory Statement of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 Congressional Record 166, no. 218, book IV, at H8828, December 21, 2020, further emphasized the importance of implementing and overseeing this grant as a “demonstration program.” Accordingly, the collection of information enables HUD to meet its research and demonstration obligations under the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970, section 501 (12 U.S.C. § 1701z-1) for this new program. This revision is being submitted because ongoing program execution has revealed grantee reporting questions and challenges, and the need for additional standardization, fillable formats, and data point clarifications and revisions. The forms are also revised to integrate the new Office of Management and Budget (OMB) race and ethnicity data standards. HUD is also seeking approval to implement a revised version of HUD Form 52698 and three additional forms. While these forms will require additional time to complete, they are expected to reduce confusion and corrections of administrative requirements, benefitting both HUD and grantees.

The latest form for Eviction Protection Grant Program expires 2028-04-30 and is listed under ICR 202412-2528-004.
