The Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) provides
funds to assist households unable to pay rent and/or utilities due to the ongoing pandemic.
The
federal stimulus package passed in December 2020 allocated $25 billion to emergency rental assistance
(ERA1). Then the $1.9 trillion stimulus package approved in March 2021 set aside $21.55 billion (ERA2),
resulting in a total of more than $46 billion available to tenants that have been negatively impacted by
COVID-19.
Funds are provided directly to states, territories, local governments and Native
American tribes to administer to eligible households through rental assistance programs. Eligible
households may receive up to 12 months of assistance, plus an additional three months if needed
dependent on the availability of funds.
Applications for emergency rental assistance may be
submitted by either a tenant or a landlord on behalf of that tenant through programs established by
grantees. In general, funds will be paid directly to landlords and utility providers. If a landlord does
not wish to participate, funds may be paid directly to the tenant.
ERAP software can help states, counties, cities and other grantees
streamline the application, approval, distribution and audit process. Cloud-based emergency
rental assistance software provides the accessibility and transparency that grantees need to
more effectively disburse funds to help households in need of rent relief.
Rent Relief is ERAP software built to help state and local agencies manage
and distribute funds. With Rent Relief, tenants can apply for coronavirus rent relief online and
view their application status in real time. Landlords can also apply on behalf of their tenants.
Agencies can more efficiently process applications and distribute emergency rental assistance
funds.
Rent Relief software works from anywhere to give you complete transparency into funds
available, in process and disbursed. It’s simple to use, increases efficacy and decreases fraud.
Rent Relief improves the audit and review process with easily accessible analytics and reporting.
If you are a nonprofit administering a rental assistance program for a state, county or city, your organization can get up to speed quickly with Rent Relief. Our ERAP software is easy to learn and use, and there are no upfront costs.
