Emergency Rental Assistance Program Quarterly Reporting Due
All day
Emergency Rental Assistance Program Quarterly Reporting Due
Program’s Reallocation Methodology Update
On March 30, 2022, Treasury published technical updates to the ERA1 Reallocation Guidance, along with a redlined version showing the updates to the version published on October 4, 2021. This update includes Tribal recapture updates.
As explained in the guidance, each Tribe will be allowed to keep funds from its initial ERA1 award that are unobligated as of June 30, 2022, up to the highest quarterly amount spent on assistance, with the remaining unobligated funds determined to be excess funds and subject to recapture. Treasury will measure unobligated funds and prior quarters’ expenditures based on the Q2 2022 report. Any funds recaptured from Tribes, TDHEs, or the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands will be prioritized for other grantees in that group in the reallocation process. After June 30, 2022, Treasury intends to consider whether additional recapture of unobligated funds, including funds received through reallocation, is appropriate to help ensure that ERA1 funds are used by the statutory deadline.
Tribes that wish to receive reallocated funds may still make requests and receive funds recaptured from state, local, and territorial ERA1 grantees in an earlier round of reallocation. Treasury will provide details on the process for requesting reallocated funds from that round in the coming weeks.
For more information, please visit Treasury's ERA1 website, or email EmergencyRentalAssistance@treasury.gov, including your ERA1 grantee number with questions.
Quarterly reporting due April 15, 2022 – Quarter 1 reporting, for the period January 1, 2022 – March 31, 2022, for ERA1 recipients is due. The reporting portal may be accessed using either Login.gov or ID.me.

White House Summit for Strengthening the Nation’s Early Warning System for Health Threats
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) will host the Summit for Strengthening the Nation’s Early Warning System for Health Threats – in support of the launch of the Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics.
The Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics (CFA) is a new center established as a national resource at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CFA’s goal is to enable timely, effective decision-making to improve outbreak response using data, models, and analytics. The center will grow to support government and community leaders, with a focus on identifying and addressing the needs of our Nation’s most vulnerable communities. Analogous to a National Weather Service for infectious diseases, the center will also develop resources to provide insights about infectious disease events to the public. Planning for the CFA began in August 2021 with initial funding of $200 million from the American Rescue Plan.
