Emergency Rental Assistance Program

Delivering rapid solutions to state and local governments to expedite housing funds to landlords and tenants 

The U.S. Treasury’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) provides $25 billion to state and local governments to assist households unable to pay rent and/or utilities due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Assisting state and local governments in administering ERAP funds requires an end-to-end program management solution that addresses everything from verifying applicant eligibility to maintaining compliance with changing regulations. CohnReznick has both world-class affordable housing insight and an extensive track record of providing large-scale program management and emergency management services for federal, state, and local governments.
