Department of Treasury Emergency Rental Assistance Program

October 21, 2021 2:44 PM | Christopher Smith (Administrator)

Please see the following from the United States Trustee's Office:

With the expiration of the moratorium on evictions and millions of American households facing displacement from their homes in the coming months, I am reaching out to seek your assistance.  I am hoping you can help us in raising awareness about the Department of Treasury’s Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program through the distribution of the attached: 

(1) UST Region 10 Notice;

(2) one page USTP Informational Notice on Emergency Rental Assistance Program (Spanish); and

(3) one page USTP Informational Notice on Emergency Rental Assistance Program (English), to any and all BASIL members who may find the information helpful.

 

As the attached UST Region 10 Notice indicates, through funding from the Department of the Treasury’s Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program, there are a wide variety of state, territorial, tribal, and local government programs that have been tailored to address the special needs of communities during these difficult times.  The U.S. Trustee Program (USTP) has partnered with the Treasury Department to help raise awareness about ERA in the hopes of helping individuals to avoid bankruptcy altogether or, at a minimum, better position debtors to exit bankruptcy successfully. 

 

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide in getting this information out to your members.  And if you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Jamie Wiley
