ETRAA is a tenant-based rental assistance for Afghan refugees, parolees and humanitarians eligible for services under the Afghanistan Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022 (ASA). Households must have at least one adult participating in the job training and English Work and Wellness Program (EWWP) at the LDS Humanitarian Center to be eligible.
