Eligible residents must also show evidence of the following:
- That they were current on their rent prior to March 2020;
- The amount of rent owed or in arrears; and
- Attest that they are unable to pay rent due to economic hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The application period is now open. Applications will be accepted until 4:30 PM, Monday, November 30th. Since the selection process will NOT be conducted on a first-come-first-served basis, applications submitted early will not take priority over those received later during the application window. Applicants are encouraged to submit as soon as possible. Preference will be given to the following households:
- Households with minor children;
- Households demonstrating the greatest economic hardship; or
- Households facing the greatest risk of eviction.
The program is being administered for the City by the Community Resource Center (CRC). Here is a link to the application being hosted on their website: Rental Assistance Application. The CRC will be able to answer any questions regarding the application process.
The City has approximately $120,000 available for this program. The program is partially funded by a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) received from the County of San Diego, to provide some recovery of costs and loss of income due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is also partially funded by an allocation from the State of Federal Coronavirus, Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act Coronavirus Relief Funds (CARES Act CRF) which is also intended to provide economic relief for hardships caused by the pandemic.
Please contact CRC at housingnavigation@crcncc.org if you have specific questions about how to apply or eligibility requirements. If you have general questions about the program contact Rimga Viskanta, Senior Management Analyst, at rviskanta@cosb.org The grant application should be submitted online (link below). However, if submitting online is not possible, please contact CRC to make alternate plans.
