LOS ANGELES, CA – The Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs or DCBA is committed to supporting applicants through every step of the process by offering application and free in-language technical assistance for the Los Angeles County Rent Relief Program. Those interested in applying for the LA County Rent Relief Program are encouraged to review the eligibility requirements and apply at lacountyrentrelief.com.

The deadline to submit an application is Jan.12, at 11:59 p.m.  

Launched by the LA County Board of Supervisors and administered by The Center by Lendistry, the program will distribute over $68 million in financial support to qualified landlords adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 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.
