On March 26, HUD published Notice PIH 2025-07<\/a> titled \u201cEmergency Housing Vouchers Leasing<\/a>.\u201d The notice states that PHAs must stop issuing Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs) 14 calendar days after the publication of the notice. Emergency Housing Vouchers assist the following groups of people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To facilitate the use of these vouchers, HUD provides PHAs with issuance fees (in addition to administrative fees, services fees, and preliminary fees). Housing agencies would receive $100 for each EHV that was successfully leased if the PHA reported the issuance date within 14 days of the voucher\u2019s issuance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Housing agencies are already prohibited from reissuing EHVs that have already been leased. Only a few PHAs currently have the ability to currently issue a new EHV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently, HUD informed PHAs<\/a> that EHV funding is likely to cover current EHVs until the some point in calendar year (CY) 2026. The funding will expire \u201c . . . due to historic increases in rental prices resulting in a higher per unit cost (PUC) for EHVs . . . .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
