THe ERAP needs to be based on the change in income for the tenant.
Example in my county the average income allowed to receive ERAP funds is $80,000. Yes where I live, in this county the average income is $140,000/year. This means that when a tenant’s income dropped by 40% they still would not qualify for ANY assistance.
Much like the PPP loans etc, prove you had a drop in income between 2019 – 2020 of 25% or more, and you get assistance. This should not be based on how much someone’s salary/income is/was.
