Program Overview

CALIFORNIA COVID-19 RENT RELIEF PROGRAM

The California COVID-19 Rent Relief Program has addressed months of accumulated rental debt and provided assistance for current and future rent, keeping hundreds of thousands of Californians housed who might otherwise have been forced to leave their homes because of the economic impact of the pandemic. To ensure that rental protections continue to be extended to households in need and that rental assistance continues to flow to tenants and their landlords, the state will prioritize Californians most at risk of eviction and homelessness- those earning extremely low to no income. Using the scale below, we will prioritize payments for those most at risk of eviction based on their household income as compared to Area Median Income or AMI*.

First Tier: Payments for households at 30% or less of AMI Second Tier: Payments for households at 31-50% of AMI Third Tier: Payments for households at 51-80% of AMI Not eligible: Households at 81% or higher of AMI

What help is available? If you owe rent ("back rent" or "arrears") we can help. If you cannot pay your rent now or are concerned about paying next month's rent we can help. We can also help with utility bills that you owe now or that you have not paid. Who qualifies for help?

California Only You must live in California. All California residents may apply regardless of immigration status.

Income Qualified If you experienced financial hardship during COVID-19 you are likely eligible for assistance. You are already qualified if you receive benefits from programs like MediCal, WIC, or CalFresh, or can demonstrate similar hardship.

Affected by COVID-19 This does not mean you had COVID. For example, if you lost your job, had your work hours reduced, were unable to find employment, had additional child-care or healthcare costs, or had other increased costs due to the pandemic, you meet this requirement.

Payment Priorities Assistance is prioritized by need so be sure to get your application in while the program is open, and while funds are still available.

Simple 3-Step Application Process

1. Fill out the application to the best of your ability. It will help us to determine if you qualify for assistance and make sure we send you the right amount of money.

2. The State of California will notify your landlord that the Rent Relief process is underway. If your landlord participates in the program the payment will go out faster.

3. Once you are done your Case Manager will help you if more information is required. Please respond to any requests for additional information so that your application is complete! You can indicate whether you want to be contacted by email or phone in the application. If you do not respond we will not be able to pay your rent or utilities.

Most people take about 30 minutes to complete this secure and private application. We will not share your information without your permission.

What can I do to speed up the process?

Let your landlord know you have applied. You can use our sample letter here ( ) to tell your landlord you have applied to the program.

Have your 2020 tax return, W-2, 1099, or other income information, such as paystubs, or public assistance approval/recertification letters handy. You will need to upload it later. You can find out more about what type of income information you will need to provide at .

Watch for emails and/or respond to calls from the California COVID-19 Rent Relief Program. Make sure you are uploading the right information. We accept photos, scans, electronic documents,

and text files to make it easier to upload your information. Provide good contact information for both you and your landlord if possible. Providing your landlord's

email address and phone number will help speed up the process.

What should I expect from the program?

Payments for utility bills will go directly to your utility provider. You will be notified when your utilities are paid.

If your landlord is participating in the program then payment for rents will go directly to your landlord. You will be notified via email when your landlord has been paid.

If your landlord does not participate in the program, then you will be paid directly. We do not share your application information with your landlord. Your information is private. No

information regarding legal status will be provided to any other government agency. You can request information on the status of your application by either logging into this application

portal, or by calling toll free 1-833-430-2122.
