Many of those tenants may be eligible for ERA, yet they are not benefiting from it, thus requiring HUD to take this further, related action.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>HUD defines PBRA tenants as participants of the following programs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Section 8<\/li><li>Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation<\/li><li>Section 202\/162 Project Assistance Contract<\/li><li>Section 202 Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC)<\/li><li>Section 811 PRAC<\/li><li>Section 236 Rental Housing Assistance Program and Rent Supplement<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Because this rule applies only to PBRA tenants, it does not apply to Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher holders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new rule will also amend a standard eviction policy for PHAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before this rule, a PHA could issue a 14-day written notice to evict a tenant for non-payment of rent. This new rule changes that to a 30-day written notice of eviction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HUD says in the document that it \u201cneeds to act to prevent a wave of preventable evictions that will interfere with the orderly operation of HUD\u2019s programs and the accomplishment of HUD\u2019s mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, a final rule would go into effect 30 days after publication, and be given 60 days for public comment. But this change in policy is expected to be immediately implemented because of the seriousness of the eviction problem. HUD is giving only 30 days for public comment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official effective date for the interim final rule is November 8, 2021. However, Public Housing and PBRA administrators are expected to implement this change immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a title=\"Instructions on how to submit a formal public comment to HUD\" href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2021\/10\/07\/2021-21960\/extension-of-time-and-required-disclosures-for-notification-of-nonpayment-of-rent\">Instructions on how to submit a formal public comment to HUD can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pace of distributing Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) to struggling renters is picking up, but many areas still have a lot of funds available.
