Eviction Protection Grant Program

The Eviction Protection Grant Program (EPGP) will provide competitive awards to approximately 16 eligible nonprofit organizations and government entities to provide no cost legal assistance (including assistance related to pretrial activities, trial activities, post-trial activities and alternative dispute resolution) to low-income tenants at risk of or subject to eviction.

Within the categories of eligible entities, you must be a nonprofit organization or government entity. Examples of entities that may be eligible, if requirements are met, include: 1) legal aid or legal clinic provider, 2) private nonprofit or state institution of higher education, 3) housing counseling or other social service organization that provides legal assistance, and 4) local, state, or tribal agency or court. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations, for-profit private institutions of higher education, Public Housing Agencies (PHAs), and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
