Starting today, Contra Costa County tenants and landlords impacted by COVID-19 can apply for assistance from the COVID-19 Rent Relief program.
Over $75 million is Contra Costa County’s allocation of federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program funds from
the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, which allocated $2.6 billion to Californians in need of rental relief.
The program assists income-qualified renters impacted by COVID-19 who need help to pay for rent or utilities.
Eligible household income may not exceed 80% of the local median income.
Eligible renters whose landlords do not participate in the program can still receive 25% of unpaid rent accrued between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021. Eligible renters can also receive future rent assistance equal to 25% of their monthly rent.
The program also provides up to 80% rent reimbursement to landlords for unpaid rent accrued between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021.
Check eligibility and apply online for COVID-19 Rent Relief and in Spanish Ayuda con la Renta.
Tenants and landlords can contact the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief Call Center at 1-833-430-2122 for assistance to apply.

Can I get some mortgage relief, too? Have the government pay my homeowner bills and not get evicted? And never pay it back? I paid my mortgage, but I don’t want to, and I’d like to get reimbursed. Please?
what a joke, open the GD economy and get people back to work already, damn lying democrats
Our Republican leaders better start getting these rally’s together. time to resist what’s going on in our country. I didn’t work my whole life to get taken advantage of by these crooks who are taking over !
where have all the American Patriots gone ?
this country is not going to get better with the lefts policies. “Wake up Already !
Let the hyperinflation begin. Groceries, gasoline, PG and E and last but not least housing prices through the roof.
Been living in the Bay Area for all of my 52 years and I don’t recognize it anymore. The progressives are on their way to squeeze the middle class out and only have rich globalist elites and poor folks in the slums. Get out while you can.
Unfortunately it’s too late for many
So here go our taxes once again and the cost of living. Really time to move the question is where. This country has gone to hell in a hand basket and we need to get it back on track fast.
Stop letting every Tom, Dick and Harry into the country for free and support them and their families. Other countries demand they put up $’s to gain entry. We cannot take care of our own let alone others.
How about all the government, state, county and city officials take a cut in their salaries or not take a salary to make up the gap that they are causing in giving away everything. Us smucks that pay our bills and are taxed to death to support their causes are sick and tired of this plus the fact they are reducing sentences and not arresting anyone anymore.
If you want something you don’t have to pay for it just steal it from those who have worked to better their lives.
America is the laughing stock of the word and it has nothing to do with the pandemic. It is caused by people voting in losers and the entitlement crowd.
It has got to stop.
I’ve doubled my income in the past year. Gotta adapt and hustle. My only lament is not buying Bitcoin a year ago like my instinct told me to.
It really seems like everyone but the hard working tax payers in the middle are getting a break.
@ Mamba….
what are you talking about? $1,400 for those making <$75,000 and <$150,000 as a couple is not a break?
This has always been the case. The folks on welfare keep spiting out babies, but always can get their hair done and buy alcohol/cigs.
Glad I am not a landlord with a mortgage. Owners are about to get double screwed! Especially those in sanctuary cities! You created this mess. Stop voting socialist to run our government! Meanwhile, all those working within the realm of the American Dream, thanks for trying
