As of April 1, 2022, the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief Program is no longer accepting applications. However, you may now apply for rental assistance through the San Francisco Emergency Rental Assistance Program (SF ERAP).

Rental assistance programs help low-income households pay rent by providing financial assistance, some in the form of a subsidy to cover the gap between what the household can afford and actual rent, some in a move-in deposit and/or first month’s rent, or for other potential barriers for a family to obtain permanent housing.
