An important message from Business, Consumer Services and Housing Secretary Lourdes Castro Ramírez
Good afternoon DFPI Licensees,
Please see the message below from Business, Consumer Services and Housing Secretary Lourdes Castro Ramírez. Please help the Department spread the word about the protections available to tenants and landlords by sharing this message with your networks and staff. Thank you in advance!
Good afternoon!
I am very excited to share with you that we will begin accepting applications for CA COVID-19 Rent Relief at 5:00 p.m. today!
With as many as 1.5 million California renters behind on rent and at risk of eviction because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program will be a lifeline to renters and landlords. It clears accumulated rental debt, keeps the hardest-hit families in their homes, and will lead to a more equitable economic recovery.
As I mentioned last time, we have worked with LISC to establish the CA Local Partner Network, consisting of community-based organizations in the hardest hit areas to provide in-person assistance to individuals who may not know about the program, or who may need help filling out their applications.
We are bringing on new partners every day, with a goal of getting to 200. I would again like to urge any of you interested in joining or Local Partner Network to apply by clicking here.
Our goal is to make sure that everyone who needs rent relief gets it.
Californians can visit our CA COVID-19 Rent Relief page through our Housing Is Key website, or they can call toll-free 833-430-2122.
I would also like to ask you to help us push out information about CA COVID-19 Rent Relief. We have created a toolkit you can use for social media messages, reaching out to your clients, and including in your newsletters.
Governor Newsom has been saying that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and I believe CA COVID-19 Rent Relief is one more example. With CA COVID-19 Rent Relief, more Californians can have confidence that they will get through this pandemic and participate in California's post-pandemic economic recovery.
In partnership,
Lourdes Castro Ramírez Secretary,
Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency
