Eviction Right to Counsel Act of 2024

This bill creates a $100 million federal fund to support local governments that provide free legal counsel to low-income tenants facing eviction. It directly affects tenants earning 200% or less of the federal poverty line in eviction or housing subsidy termination cases involving their primary residence. The fund provides grants to jurisdictions that have already enacted "right to counsel legislation," prioritizing those with tenant protections like 30-day notice periods, eviction diversion programs, or emergency rental assistance. Grant money can cover attorney training and recruitment costs for representing eligible tenants in covered cases. The bill does not mandate new laws but offers funding to jurisdictions that already have such policies in place.
