Summary

Prevent Evictions Act of 2020

This bill creates a grant program, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for states, local governments, tribal governments, and other public or nonprofit entities to establish or administer landlord-tenant mediation programs in which tenants may participate at no cost.

In addition, HUD must propose a demonstration project to test an insurance model for preventing evictions.
