Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) Program Announcement

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has announced that it will not continue funding the Emergency Housing Voucher program. While the program was originally authorized by Congress in 2021 with funding intended to last through 2030, we have been informed by HUD that the funding will be exhausted several years earlier than expected. As a result, the EHV program will be ending across the country per HUD Notice to Public Housing Authorities.

On June 5, HACSJ notified Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) participants and property owners explaining the sunset of the federal EHV program by the end of the year, and the efforts HACSJ is making to connect EHV households to other affordable housing programs as guided by HUD Notice PIH 2025-19.

Note: This announcement only applies to participants receiving housing assistance in the EHV program. This notice does not affect participants in other housing assistance programs administered by HACSJ.
