Bill overview
The Eviction Prevention Act of 2019 aims to help people facing eviction by providing grants to states and local governments to offer legal assistance to low-income renters. It also authorizes the Department of Justice to collect data on evictions, including information about race and property type, and directs the Government Accountability Office to study the eviction process and identify ways to improve tenant protections. The bill provides funding for these initiatives through appropriations over five years.
