The Eviction Protection Grant Program (EPGP) through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will fund nonprofit organizations and government entities to provide no-cost legal assistance to low-income tenants at risk or subject to eviction. The program has three key goals: 1) increase housing stability for low-income tenants, 2) support eviction protection strategies that advance equity and fair housing, and 3) evaluate legal assistance strategies and outcomes. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is the administering agency. Eligible applicants include state/local governments, nonprofits, and institutions of higher education. Applications are due by August 20, 2024.
HUD expects to make approximately 25 awards totaling $40 million from FY 2023 and FY 2024 funds. The minimum award amount is $500,000 and the maximum is $2.5 million per project period. The program is authorized under the Consolidated Appropriations Acts for FY 2023 and FY 2024, with Assistance Listing number 14.537. The geographic scope is nationwide, including rural areas.
