Emergency Housing Vouchers Webinar Series – May and June 2021
|
|
|
Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs) represent an exciting opportunity for collaboration between Continuums of Care (CoCs) and local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs). To help PHAs and CoCs prepare for these vouchers, HUD is hosting a series of webinars over the next few weeks. These webinars will highlight key elements of PIH Notice 2021-15: Emergency Housing Vouchers – Operating Requirements.
On May 10, 2021, HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) sent letters to 696 PHAs, inviting these PHAs to administer 70,000 EHVs. A list of PHAs invited to administer the vouchers is available at the Emergency Housing Vouchers page on HUD.gov.
