End of Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) Program
Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV)s are a federal housing subsidy created during the COVID-19 pandemic to rapidly house vulnerable populations. They were designed as a temporary emergency response program. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has announced early termination of EHV funding, with funds projected to be exhausted by December 31, 2026. The City and County of San Francisco (City) and the Housing Authority of the City and County of San Francisco (Authority) are implementing a coordinated transition plan to maintain stability for all households and are committed to ensuring households will not lose rental assistance as a result of the ending of the EHV Program.
