Are you planning out an eviction prevention strategy? The US Department of Treasury has published a ‘maturity model’ that can help you set up a framework that fits your region’s current status.
This strategy work is mainly focused on using Emergency Rental Assistance Programs (ERAP) to divert landlords & tenants away from eviction. It is less focused on other kinds of eviction situations.
You can start with the earlier strategies & practices, and then move to more advanced ones as you get more ‘mature’ in your development.
Strategies for eviction diversion & ERAP
- First see what point your regional network is at. Are you at the starting point? Or more of a mature place?
2. Then look into specific kinds of interventions to see what you can be doing:
- New resources and programs
- Tenant outreach and support
- Landlord outreach and support
- Relationship building
- Making evictions a policy priority in ERAP distribution
Tenant-focused interventions
