Santa Ana residents impacted by COVID-19 who are behind on rent and facing eviction within 21 days can apply for up to 12 months’ rent (which includes up to six months’ rental arrears since April 1, 2020) and receive free legal and mediation services.

FOR LANDLORDS – If you have experienced a loss of income because of unpaid rent, apply now to get financial assistance for your tenants through the California COVID-19 Rent Relief program. Landlords can get reimbursed for 80% of past-due rent accrued between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021, if they agree to waive the remaining 20% of unpaid rent. Landlords can verify their eligibility and apply immediately on behalf of their tenants by visiting https://housing.ca.gov/ or by calling 833-430-2122 for more information.

If you would like to learn more, two Zoom workshops will be held on May 12 and May 26 at 6 p.m. in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. You can register for one of these two workshops by e-mailing aalvarez@santa-ana.org.
