CSAC and the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency
(BCSH) are hosting an informational webinar from 4- 5
p.m. on July 21 on recent changes to the COVID-19 Rent
Relief Program and the extension of eviction protections for
California tenants pursuant to
AB 832. Counties with populations of 200,000 or greater that
would like to administer “Round II” rental assistance state block
grant funds must request an allocation by Wednesday, July
28. Register
here.
AB 832 changed the state’s COVID-19 Rent Relief Program, extended
eviction protections for California tenants, and created a
framework for the administration of “Round II” rental assistance
funding from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. CSAC’s summary
of the bill is
available here. A reservation table of Round II funding for
each county is
available here.
AB 832 extends eviction protections for non-payment of rent
related to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to September 30,
2021, provided that the tenant has paid 25 percent of the rent
due.
The bill also increased rental assistance payments to 100 percent
of unpaid rent and 100 percent of prospective rent and utilities
payments for up to 18 months of total aid per household,
including increased aid for tenants that previously received
prorated payments. These provisions apply to all state rent
relief payments, as well as to “Option B” jurisdictions that are
administering their own “Round I” rental assistance programs in
conformance with the state’s program.
Representatives from BCSH will present on AB 832 and be available
to answer your questions. Space is limited,
so register today!
