May 25 – What Can We Learn from Communities About Equitably Providing Emergency Rental Assistance?
The Urban Institute created the Emergency Rental Assistance Prioritization (ERAP) tool to help states and localities identify neighborhoods where low-income renters face the greatest risk of housing insecurity. First launched in August 2020, researchers updated the tool this April to reflect the most recently available data. In this webinar, the Urban Institute will provide information about the tool and how to use it as well as share other resources states and localities can leverage when designing and implementing equitable rental assistance programs. The webinar will also highlight two local programs centering racial equity in their program design and using the ERAP tool to prioritize outreach and shape the provision of assistance. The event will take place on Tuesday, May 25 at 3 p.m. EST. Click here to register.
