LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs or DCBA will begin accepting applications for the Los Angeles County Rent Relief Program at 9 a.m., Dec. 12. The deadline to submit applications is at 11:59 p.m. Jan. 12, 2024.
Spearheaded by the LA County Board of Supervisors and administered by The Center by Lendistry, the program will now distribute over $68 million in financial support to qualified landlords adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase of $22 million in grant funding.
Those interested in applying for the LA County rent relief program can review the eligibility requirements, register to receive a link to the application when it opens, and access the application directly when it is available by visiting the portal at lacountyrentrelief.com.
The rent relief program will provide up to $30,000 per rental unit to landlords for past due rent and eligible expenses dating from April 1, 2022, to the present. The program aims to curb tenant evictions and ensure the continued provision of housing.
To ensure accessibility and ease throughout the application process, the application and free in-language technical assistance will be available in multiple languages. Applicants will be able to access assistance daily between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., starting Dec. 12.
DCBA has implemented a prioritized review process for the upcoming LA County rent relief program applications. Applications submitted will be systematically evaluated, with priority given to those demonstrating the most substantial financial distress, those catering to the most vulnerable tenants, and properties located in areas of highest need, as identified by the LA County Equity Explorer Tool. Early submissions are strongly encouraged. Submission of a completed application does not guarantee funding.
