facing financial hardship associated with covid-19. haf funds were distributed to states, u.s. territories, and indian tribes. funds from haf may be used for assistance with mortgage payments, homeowner’s insurance, utility payments, and other specified purposes. through june 2024, haf-funded programs have assisted over 549,000 homeowners, helping to prevent mortgage delinquencies and defaults, foreclosures, losses of utilities and home energy services, and displacement. the data shows that the majority of haf assistance reached economically vulnerable and traditionally underserved homeowners, including low-income homeowners, homeowners of color, and female homeowners. further, available data has shown that foreclosure filings have remained below pre-pandemic levels.find

billion to support housing stability for eligible renters throughout the covid-19 pandemic. participating governments have leveraged era funding to make over 10 million assistance payments to renters facing eviction, and research has shown that era assistance has supported low-income renters and renters of color. combined with other administration initiatives, treasury’s era programs have helped to prevent millions of evictions since the onset of the pandemic. two separate era programs have been established: the era1 program was authorized by the consolidated appropriations act, 2021 and provided $25 billion to assist eligible households with financial assistance and housing stability services. the era2 program was authorized by the american rescue plan act of 2021 and provides $21.55 billion to assist eligible households with financial assistance, provide housing stability services, and as applicable, to cover the costs for other affordable rental housing and eviction prevention activities. financial assistance can include the payment of rent, rental arrears, utilities and home energy costs, utilities and home energy costs arrears, and certain other expenses related to housing. era funds are provided directly to states, u.s. territories, certain local governments1, and in the case of era1, indian tribes or their tribally designated housing entities and the department of hawaiian home lands. find rental assistancefind rental assistance resources in your areaquestions?program recipients with questions about reporting, technical issues, eligible uses of
