Eviction Right to Counsel Act of 2024

This bill establishes a $100 million federal fund (2025-2029) to provide grants to states, localities, or tribal governments that have already enacted laws requiring free legal help for low-income tenants facing eviction or loss of housing subsidies. It directly affects tenants with incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty line (about $29,000 annually for a single person) in eviction or housing subsidy termination cases. The fund reimburses these entities for costs related to legal representation under their existing "right to counsel" laws, prioritizing jurisdictions with additional tenant protections like longer eviction notice periods or eviction diversion programs. The bill does not create new federal eviction rules but supports state-level legal aid systems.
