City of LA Emergency Renters Assistance Program / Programa de asistencia para inquilinos de emergencia de la ciudad de Los Ángeles
July 13 – July 17 2020
Dear St. Thomas Families:
As we continue to battle through the impact of COVID-19, we constantly monitor any new programs or funding offered through the City of Los Angeles that may benefit our families. Please see below for the latest renter’s relief program:
Council President Nury Martinez announced the launch of the Emergency Renters’ Assistance Subsidy Program for City of Los Angeles residential tenants. The application window for this assistance is Monday, July 13th – Friday, July 17th.
Please note that while only tenants may apply for the subsidy, the payment will go directly to the landlord, who will have to agree to City terms to accept the payment. The basic eligibility requirements for tenants are:
- They live in a multi-family unit that is located in the City of LA
- They can provide proof of tenancy
- They earned at or below 80% of Area Median Income prior to March 13, 2020
- They can provide documentation that they have suffered a loss or reduction of income due to COVID-19 after March 13, 2020″
Note: All tenants residing in the City of Los Angeles who meet the criteria may apply, regardless of immigration status. If you have questions regarding the Public Charge rule and your use of this program/benefit, please contact a qualified immigration attorney. You can find more information and legal resources on public charge here.
ERAS recipients will be chosen via lottery once the application window is closed; no preference will be given based on when during the application window an application was received.
People can find more information about the program and how to apply at https://hcidla.lacity.org/ or by calling 844-944-1868.
