Eviction Protection Grant Program: $40 Million Available
for Legal Assistance
The Eviction Protection Grant Program, first launched in 2021, supports experienced legal
service providers in providing no cost legal assistance to low-income tenants at risk of
or subject to eviction. New grant funds totaling $40 million are now available to eligible
nonprofit or governmental entities, such as legal aid organizations; bar associations;
legal clinics; institutions of higher education; housing counseling or other social
service organizations that provide legal assistance; and local, state, or tribal agencies
or courts. Grantees will also participate in research conducted by PD&R and will be
expected to collect and submit data on services provided and associated outcomes.
PD&R is anticipating making approximately 25 awards of $500,000 to $2,500,000 each, with a
total of $40,000,000 in grant funds available. We expect to award at least half of the
total funds available to applicants who did not receive FY 2021 or FY 2022 Eviction
Protection Grant Program funds as an awardee or subrecipient.
