HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) is hosting weekly Office Hours to support the implementation of the Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV) program. These Office Hours will be held on Tuesdays from 3:00 – 4:00 PM EDT.

The next EHV Office Hours on Tuesday, September 14, 2021 will look at Using EHV to Serve Survivors. Guest speakers will focus on specific issues and policies for Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and EHV partners to consider in serving survivors.

The discussion will include working with Victim Service Providers (VSPs) around development of trauma-informed practices, respecting confidentiality in referral processes, and barriers/considerations in the provision of housing search assistance.

About EHV

HUD announced the award of 70,000 EHVs to approximately 700 PHAs across the country in May 2021. A list of PHAs invited to administer these vouchers is available on the EHV page on HUD.gov. These vouchers are a strategic investment of $5 billion funded as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and are dedicated to individuals and families who are:

• Homeless
• At-risk of homelessness
• Fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking
• Recently homeless and for whom providing rental assistance will prevent the family’s homelessness or having high risk of housing instability, including clients in rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing programs
