Treasury, ERA2 Reporting Technical Assistance: Tables 1-5 & Housing Stability
Summary
A Treasury technical-assistance deck, updated June 2025, for Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA2) recipients filling in the quarterly demographic tables (Tables 1-5) and reporting housing stability services and eviction prevention projects. Its cover reads "Confidential Materials, Not for Public Distribution," and its disclaimer says it is not legal advice or binding policy. The first four tables segment data across race, ethnicity and sex; Table 5 reports cumulative amounts obligated and expended. A Demographic Reporting Worksheet lets recipients verify numbers before entering them in Treasury's Portal. A closing chart shows the 15% cap on administrative costs, the 10% cap on housing stability services and, once 75% obligation is reached, optional use of the remainder for affordable rental housing under FAQ 46 and its 50% AMI requirement.

General Overview of Tables (1-5)
Orientation to Reporting Tables (1-5)
ERA2 Recipients are required to provide detailed data regarding their use of
ERA2 award funds to Treasury on a quarterly basis.
The first four of the five report tables ask for data segmented across race,
ethnicity, and sex. This resource intends to help guide ERA2 Recipients
through the reporting requirements for the ERA2 awards to ensure that
reported data is accurate and complies with the requirements. When paired
with the Demographic Reporting Worksheet, recipients can prepare and
verify their data prior to entering the numbers into Treasury’s Portal.
For more information on ERA2 reporting requirements, please see the ERA2
Reporting Guidance.

Reporting Participant Demographics Data:
Segmentation by Categories in Tables 1-4
Instructions:
Tables 1-4 asks you to report on ERA2 data (cumulative
household counts and expenditures) at the household level.
These are further broken down by demographic “segments”
within each “category”—as illustrated on the left.
• Each column in Tables 1-4 is further broken down into
three broad demographic categories: race, ethnicity, and
sex.
• Each row asks for data in specific demographic segments
within each category (i.e. “Asian,” “Hispanic or Latino,”
Category Total “Male,” etc.).
• If the values in each category's total row are equal, the
portal will accept the values after you press save.
• After the data has been successfully validated (saved):
– Rows 9, 14, 20 will show the totals for each category.
– Row 21 will show the total as entered on the “Emergency
Category Total Rental Assistance Project Data” tab.
• The category totals (rows 9, 14, and 20) should all be
equal and should also equal the program total in row 21.
• If the values in each total row are not equal, the portal
will show an error message after you press save.

Tips:
• The total of households served in columns 3A-3E should equal the cumulative number of
unique households that received assistance (the programmatic total).
• Each of the three category totals (race, ethnicity, and sex) reported in columns 3A-3E must
be equal and each category must also equal the programmatic total.
• The sum of each segment (or each row) in Table 3 (that is, for any given segment in Table 3,
the sum of amounts in Columns 3A+3B+3C+3D+3E) must not be greater than to the same
segment (or corresponding row) reported in Table 2 Column 2A (the cumulative number of
unique households that received financial assistance).
• For example, if you add together the total number of female-headed households that
received assistance by income level, categorical eligibility, and fact specific proxy in
Table 3, that total must not be greater than the total number of female-headed
households reported as receiving financial assistance in Table 2, Column 2A.

Cumulative Amounts Obligated and Expended
In Table 5, you report the cumulative obligations and cumulative expenditures for your ERA2 Rental
Assistance Project between the date of receipt of the ERA2 award through the end of the current
reporting period. The next several slides show the six questions for Table 5 with the “helper text”
that is available for each these questions in the portal.

2: Reporting on
“Housing Stability Services” &
“Eviction Prevention Projects”
Overview of Reporting on the Activities Associated with
Housing Stability Services & Eviction Prevention Activities
The American Rescue Plan and ERA2 guidance provides ERA2 Recipients flexibility to more deeply invest in
housing stability and eviction prevention related programming, especially once the Recipient meets certain
requirements.
The types of services and activities that fall under “Housing Stability Services” and “Eviction Prevention
Activities” (HSS/EPA) are defined under FAQ #23. ERA2 Recipients can report expenditures on HSS/EPA up to
10% of the award and these expenditures can occur any time during the period of performance as outlined by
FAQ#23.
The ERA2 statute also provides flexibilities to allow ERA2 Recipients to —in practical terms—enhance
investment in these types of services beyond the initial 10% cap if the ERA2 Recipient meets certain
requirements as outlined by FAQ #46.
Given that investments in HHS/EPA can fall under two different sections of the ERA2 guidance that are subject
to different requirements. Treasury’s Portal provides two mutually exclusive ways for ERA2 Recipients to report
on HSS/EPA:
1. “Rental Assistance Project” → Table 5 → Questions 4-6 cover “housing stability services”
2. “ERA2 Eviction Prevention Project”
The following slides outline the interrelationship between reporting on HSS/EPA as “Housing Stability Services”
(within reporting requirements within the “Rental Assistance Project”) and the option of reporting expanded
HSS/EPA under an “Eviction Prevention Project.”
Description of Reporting on “Housing Stability Services” &
“Eviction Prevention Projects” (Similarities)
• HSS/EPA that can be reported as “Housing Stability Services” (defined by FAQ #23 are
the same type of services that can be reported as an “Eviction Prevention Project.”
• That means that, if an ERA2 Recipient wishes to spend more than 10% of their total
ERA2 award on HSS/EPA (and it has met the 75% obligation threshold), it can take
advantage of flexibilities defined by FAQ #46 and invest in one or more “Eviction
Prevention Project(s).” See next slide for key requirements.

(remainder of funds after 75%

Description of Reporting on “Housing Stability Services” &
“Eviction Prevention Projects” (Differences)
HOWEVER, though the same types of HSS/EPA can be reported under “housing stability
service” questions in the “Rental Assistance Project” OR as a “Eviction Prevention Project,”
ERA2 recipients should pay attention to the key differences in reporting requirements
when deciding how they account for and report these activities.

FAQ 23 * obligation threshold is reached
*Note: households reported as

stability services” do not have to
meet an eligibility requirement
(in alignment with FAQ 23).
Reporting Description for
“Housing Stability Services” Questions in Table 5
ERA2 Recipients can report on HSS/EPA throughout the ERA2 award period of
performance via the last three questions of Table 5 (within the standard required
reporting under “Rental Assistance Project”):
• FAQ #23 includes a non-exhaustive list of “housing stability services” which include
eviction prevention activities.
• For ERA2 awards, its important to note that these services are NOT restricted to
“eligible households,” and they can be provided to households at any point during
the ERA2 period of performance as a type of “housing stability service.”
• Housing Stability Services reported under the “Rental Assistance Project” are limited
to 10% of the total ERA2 award amount received by the ERA2 Recipient. However,
ERA2 Recipients should review FAQ #46 (described in slide 30) for additional
flexibilities if they would like to invest further in these types of services.
• Remember that you must also report obligations for HSS/EPA on the “Recipient
Subawards, Contracts, and Direct Payments” tab and expenditures for services
provided on the “Expenditures” tab.
Reporting Instructions for
“Housing Stability Services” Questions in Table 5
Recipients must report quarterly on the cumulative number of households who benefited from “Housing
Stability Services” throughout the ERA2 award period of performance. The fields to report these uses of ERA2
award funds are located in Table 5 within the demographics reporting tab.
Remember that you must also report obligations for HSS/EPA on the “Recipient Subawards, Contracts, and
Direct Payments” tab and expenditures for services provided on the “Expenditures” tab.
Reporting Description for
“Eviction Prevention Projects”
• HSS/EPA reported as “Eviction Prevention Projects” are the same types of services
reported as “Housing Stability Services” – as defined in FAQ #23, except—because
of the ERA2 statutory requirement—this ADDITIONAL funding can ONLY serve very
low income families (<50% AMI) and provided to households only after the ERA2
recipient has met the 75% obligation threshold.
• If a recipient is planning on using this flexibility to expend more than 10% of their
ERA2 award on HSS/EPA, it must report those as “Eviction Prevention Projects.”
However, there are additional reporting requirements to ensure alignment with
FAQ #46 (see slide 35).
• Remember that you must also report obligations for HSS/EPA on the “Recipient
Subawards, Contracts, and Direct Payments” tab and expenditures for services
provided on the “Expenditures” tab.
Reporting Instructions for “Eviction Prevention Projects”
1) If you wish to report additional expenditures (beyond the 10% cap for housing stability services)
on HSS/EPA, you can create a new “Eviction Prevention Project” in Treasury’s Portal. Be prepared for
additional reporting requirements (see next slide).
Reporting Instructions for Eviction Prevention Projects (cont.)
2. Select the “eviction prevention” project which
will display additional questions.
3. Report additional information including (but
not limited to):
• cumulative expenses/obligations
• any new obligations and expenses
from that most recent quarter,
• a project description, and
• households served and demographic
information to verify that funds
served very low-income families.
Remember that you must also report obligations for HSS/EPA on the “Recipient Subawards, Contracts, and
Direct Payments” tab and expenditures for services provided on the “Expenditures” tab.

Description of Reporting on
Eligible uses of ERA2 Award Funds Over Time
The following chart illustrates allowable use of funds over time and how it can be reported in the portal.
• Before the ERA2 Recipient reaches the 75% obligation threshold, all expenditures should be reported within the
“Rental Assistance Project” section of Treasury’s Portal.
• Once an ERA2 Recipient reaches the 75% obligations threshold, the ERA2 statute affords the ERA2 Recipient the
flexibility to choose to invest its remaining unobligated funds in “Affordable Rental Housing Project(s)” and/or
“Eviction Prevention Project(s)” as described by FAQ #46. These should be reported as separate projects and
require additional reporting to align with the statutory requirements for using the ERA2 award funds for these
purposes.

Additional flexibilities after obligation of 75% of total ERA2 Award
Once a recipient has obligated at least 75% of its total ERA2 award amount, the statute affords the recipient more flexibility in
its uses of the remaining funds (as outlined by FAQ #46). These activities are optional. In addition to allowing for investment
in Affordable Rental Housing Projects, ERA2 Recipients may choose to make additional investments in HSS/EPA as “Eviction
Prevention Projects.”
• Once you can use your ERA2 award funds for FAQ 46 purposes, you may spend more than 10% on HSS/EPA by investing
in an “Eviction Prevention Project.”
• However, funds reported as “Eviction Prevention Projects” must serve ONLY very low-income households (<50% AMI).
Note: In practice, ERA2 Recipients can continue to provide HSS/EPA to households that do not meet the 50% AMI eligibility
requirement, even after an Eviction Prevention Project has begun. However, those households must be reported as part of
the “Rental Assistance Project” (in Table 5), NOT as part of the “Eviction Prevention Project.”
