CA COVID-19 Rent Relief Program for Landlords and Tenants
Posted on 05/03/21Whether it’s a health-related event or a significant financial hardship, COVID-19 has affected us all. As our state continues to recover, we are committed to keeping families housed and recognize that California renters and landlords have enough to worry about.
CA COVID-19 Rent Relief will help income-eligible households pay rent and utilities, both for past due and future payments. The federal Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 provides funding to support the program and tenant (renter) protection laws signed by Governor Newsom.
Those who have experienced a financial hardship due to COVID-19, have past due rent or utilities, and have a household income that is not more than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI), may be eligible to receive help to pay past due or future rent and utilities from the state of California. Landlords and renters can now verify eligibility by visiting HousingIsKey.com, or by calling 833-430-2122, and if eligible, apply.
