Watch Now

On December 27, 2020, the third COVID-19 relief stimulus bill became law, authorizing $25 billion in emergency rent relief funding for residents facing eviction or winter without heat and running water. Local and state government leaders are now moving quickly to understand how they can distribute funds from the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) to residents in need as efficiently as possible while maintaining compliance with federal rules. 

Join our experts on February 17 at 11:00am PT/2:00pm ET to learn about new tools government leaders can use to effectively administer ERAP in compliance with all requirements quickly and at scale.

Join us to:

  • Learn how a highly automated, end-to-end workflow being deployed across the country includes pre-screening to award determination and closeout
  • Find out how no-code tools can be rapidly tailored to meet all local requirements and configured to provide distinct digital experiences for all relevant stakeholders (renters, landlords, administrators, housing specialists and program auditors)
  • See a demo of how the tool can be used to distribute and manage funds now and adjust to new or changing program requirements later
