Californians across the state were affected by COVID-19, and many were left unable to pay portions or all of their rent or utility bills because of the pandemic. On March 15, 2021, the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program began to accept applications for rent and utility support, helping Californians hit hardest by the pandemic. Tenants and landlords were able to request up to 18-months in assistance covering the time between April 1, 2020 and March 31, 2022.

All eligible applicants that submitted their application before the March 31 deadline will receive assistance with past-due rent and/or utility bills.
