The Marin County Rental Assistance Program has an online application available now. Low-income Marin County residents and landlords can apply to receive 80% of unpaid back rent due between April 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021. This application does not ask for any citizenship information and is open to all eligible Marin County renters. Receiving assistance from this program does not affect public charge.

If you need help with the application, please come to one of our in-person events:

  • When: Wednesday May 19, 2021 from 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM & Sunday May 23, 2021 from 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Staff will be available to assist applicants who do not have access to a computer or smart phone or need additional assistance. We will also have available vaccines, applications for assistance with PG&E and other community resources and a free Taco Truck!
