LA County Rent Relief Program Now Accepting Applications

 

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs or DCBA is now accepting applications for the Los Angeles County Rent Relief Program. Spearheaded by the LA County Board of Supervisors and administered by The Center by Lendistry, the program will distribute more than $68 million in financial support to qualified landlords adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. To review eligibility requirements and apply for the LA County Rent Relief Program, visit lacountyrentrelief.com. 

To ensure accessibility and ease throughout the application process, the Rent Relief Call Center is open toll-free at 877-849-0770 daily from 7 a.m.to 7p.m. Free in-language technical assistance will be available in all County threshold languages.

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. 

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. 

Details: The deadline to submit applications is at 11:59 p.m., Jan. 12, 2024.
