Housing Provisions in the American Rescue Plan
The American Rescue Plan Act provides urgently needed COVID-19 relief resources for America’s lowest-income renters and people experiencing homelessness. These resources are provided in addition to the $25 billion in emergency rental assistance approved by Congress in December 2020. These investments will help prevent millions of low-income people from losing their homes during the pandemic and will provide cities and states with the resources they need to help people experiencing homelessness be safely housed during and after the pandemic. President Biden signed the act into law on Thursday, March 22 2021.
