LA County COVID-19 Rent Relief
This program is made possible by the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors who approved $100 Million in CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Funds to provide rental assistance on behalf of tenants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Los Angeles County Development Authority has been authorized to administer this program on behalf of the County.
Los Angeles County is here in partnership with 211 LA to help tenants make their monthly rent payments during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Program Application Period is now closed. Due to the high number of applications submitted, the applications are still under review to verify eligibility for the program.
Applicants will receive notification via email as to whether they were selected for rent relief by September 21st.
