Los Angeles, CA –Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn is urging local mom-and-pop landlords to apply for grants through the LA County Rent Relief fund which launched this morning.
“The costs of the pandemic policies that kept people housed fell on the shoulders of local mom-and-pop landlords,” said Supervisor Hahn. “This landlord relief fund is long-overdue, and I urge local property owners who need the help to apply and to call my office if they need any assistance.”
The new fund, launched by the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs at the direction of the Board of Supervisors, makes $68.6 million available for landlord relief with small landlords eligible to receive up to $120,000 in assistance for past due rent and eligible expenses from April 1, 2022 to present. Eligible property owners must own a rental property in Los Angeles County (properties located in the City of Los Angeles are excluded).
If interested property owners need help completing an online application, they can contact a multilingual call center at (877) 849-0770. Language assistance will be available every day of the week, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. PST, in all County threshold languages (which include Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Armenian, and others).
In-person one-on-one support is also available through DCBA partners.
