Eviction Right to Counsel Act of 2025

This bill provides federal funding to states, local governments, and tribal entities that have implemented or will implement "right to counsel" laws for low-income tenants. It establishes a $100 million annual fund (2026-2030) to grant money to jurisdictions with existing or planned laws guaranteeing free legal representation for tenants earning at or below 200% of the federal poverty line in eviction cases or housing subsidy terminations. The grants cover costs like attorney training and recruitment, with priority given to jurisdictions that also limit evictions for non-fault reasons, require 30-day notice periods, or offer rental assistance. The bill does not create new legal rights but supports existing state/local programs that provide free legal aid during eviction proceedings.
