The NLIHC-led Disaster Housing Recovery Coalition (DHRC) continues to advocate for a broad array of resources and protections for the lowest-income renters and people experiencing homelessness, including emergency rental assistance and eviction prevention assistance, a national moratorium on evictions and foreclosures, and more emergency funds for homelessness service providers, housing authorities, and housing providers, among other recommendations. For more information, see DHRC’s full list of recommendations, which will continue to be expanded and refined.
