Sen. Corey Booker (D-NJ) and Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) have introduced the Eviction Right to Counsel Act, which would provide $100 million/year for 5 years in federal funding for cities, counties, and states that enact tenant right to counsel policies. The legislation prioritizes jurisdictions that have passed other tenant protections such as just cause or extended eviction timelines. Read the press releases from Sen. Booker and Rep. Lee.
The NCCRC worked with Sen. Booker on the language for the bill.
