“the Emergency Rental Assistance program makes funding available to assist households that are unable to pay rent or utilities. Two separate programs have been established: ERA1 provides up to $25 billion under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which was enacted on December 27, 2020, and ERA2 provides up to $21.55 billion under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was enacted on March 11, 2021.”

It takes over seven months to get out checks to landlords?

Most of these programs pay money to states who then have to create software programs to distribute the funds....

The software program companies are all politically connected and are a lot better at lobbying and paying kickbacks than they are at actually writing software...

So it take forever for the money to get distributed to wherever the legislation says it is supposed to go...

Exactly. The money was sent to the states to disburse.

Only $3 billion was actually disbursed.

It's in the (Democrat) pipeline.
