Update 2/22/22:
The CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program helps eligible Californians at highest risk of eviction and lowest income get money for rent and utilities. To ensure rental protections continue to help those who need it most, the state is prioritizing Californians most at risk of eviction and homelessness—those earning extremely low to no income.
- While we know rent relief is an urgent issue for all applicants, the program is prioritizing those who are at highest risk of eviction and lowest income.
- Because the rent relief dollars come from the federal government, the state of California is following the U.S. Departmentof Treasury’s guidelines for disbursing funds.
- The state of California will continue to apply for additional funds from the U.S. Department of Treasury to help even more Californians get the financial assistance they need. Regardless of whether or not you are in the highest priority group for rent relief, completing an application for the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program may reduce your risk of eviction.
- If you’ve received an eviction notice, it’s important you act quickly. Check your eligibility and apply for rent relief at HousingIsKey.com or by calling 833-430-2122 within 15 days of receiving a notice from your landlord. You can also call a bilingual NCO Case Manager today at (707) 456-7989 for local assistance with your application.
- Your landlord can’t legally evict you for non-payment of COVID-related debt without also applying for the program, so it’s important to let your landlord know as soon as you submit your application (or intend to).
- Legal aid resources are available to support tenants navigating available protections. Low-or no-cost legal help is available through www.lawhelpca.org and/or the Tenant Resources page on HousingIsKey.com.
