Dear Ms. Soto:

[GRANTEE] (Grantee), [ERA1 GRANTEE NUMBER], writes to request a determination that its claimed ERA1 administrative expenses are related to the delivery of the program for purposes of the presumption discussed in section V of the ERA1 Reallocation Guidance (Guidance).

About Our ERA Program
Grantee’s initial allocation of ERA1 funds was $[AMOUNT].  After deducting amounts recaptured or reallocated by Treasury as excess funds, the amount of our ERA1 allocation is $[AMOUNT].  As of our most recent report, Grantee has cumulatively obligated $[AMOUNT] of its ERA1 allocation for the provision of financial assistance and housing stability services on behalf of eligible households. Grantee does not expect to obligate at least 30% of its initial ERA1 allocation for these purposes by September 30, 2022.

Since the launch of its ERA1 program, Grantee has processed a total of [NUMBER] applications for rental assistance.  As of the date of this letter, Grantee has provided a total of [NUMBER] households with rental assistance using ERA1 funds.

Obstacles to Obligating ERA1 Funds
[Briefly discuss any obstacles encountered in obligating 30% of the Grantee’s ERA1 allocation, such as a low cost of housing or limited demand notwithstanding outreach efforts.]

Our Uses of ERA1 Funds on Administrative Expenses
Grantee has expended $[AMOUNT] of its initial ERA1 allocation on administrative expenses related to program delivery.  All of such expenditures constituted permissible administrative expenses in accordance with all applicable ERA1 guidance and requirements.  That amount was expended on the following type[s] of program-related costs:

[TYPE OF EXPENSE], $[AMOUNT SPENT ON EXPENSE]

Please explain clearly how such expenditures are related to ERA1 program delivery.]
