Emergency Housing Vouchers

DHA will begin administering Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs) effective 7/1/2021. In order for an individual/family to be eligible to receive an EHV, at least one of the following criteria must be met:

• Family must meet HUD's definition of Homeless
• Family must be at risk of Homelessness
• Family must be fleeing domestic violence
• Family must be recently homeless, and in need of EHV to maintain housing stability

EHV's are managed through a direct referral process. All referrals for an EHV must come directly from the Durham Continuum of Care (CoC), through their Coordinated Entry Process. If you believe you may be eligible for EHV assistance, please contact the Durham CoC directly.
