1. Purpose
This Notice notifies Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) that they must stop issuing Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs) effective 14 calendar days after the publication of this notice. PHAs will no longer receive issuance fees, also effective 14 calendar days after the publication of this notice.
2. Background
EHVs are tenant-based rental assistance under Section 8(o) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)). 1 Eligibility for EHVs is limited to individuals and families who are 1) homeless, 2) at-risk of homelessness, 3) fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, or 4) recently homeless and for whom providing rental assistance will prevent the family's homelessness or having high risk of housing instability.
In addition to administrative fees, services fees, and preliminary fees to support efficient program leasing, HUD also provides PHAs with issuance fees. PHAs receive $100 for each EHV that was initially leased upon the effective leasing date of the voucher if the PHA reported the voucher issuance date in the Inventory Management System/ Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Information Center (IMS/PIC) within 14 days of the voucher
issuance date or within 14 days of the issuance of Notice PIH 2021-20, whichever is later.
