Application Portal Opens Today for LA County Rent Relief Program

LOS ANGELES – The application portal opens today for the second round of the Los Angeles County Rent Relief Program (LARRP) and will remain open through Tuesday, June 4, 2024, at 4:59 PM PDT. Interested parties can access the application directly by visiting lacountyrentrelief.com.

To better support applicants, community partners are offering free webinars and technical assistance in multiple languages. Visit lacountyrentrelief.com/webinars-and-events to register. We encourage applicants from Round 1 to complete any pending tasks and contact the Rent Relief Customer Call Center at (877) 849-0770 for expedited processing. The Call Center is open Monday – Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM PDT.

The Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA) will prioritize applications from vulnerable tenants and properties in high-need areas. We urge potential applicants to apply early, though please note that submission of an application does not guarantee funding.

If an applicant has already been awarded a grant from the Program, their existing application will be reviewed to see if they qualify for additional assistance with rental debt. If they qualify, the grantee will be notified by the Program. Grantees should not reapply as this may result in a delay in processing.

Originally launched December 12, 2023, LARRP continues to provide crucial financial support to landlords who have been economically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Spearheaded by the LA County Board of Supervisors and administered by The Center by Lendistry, the program’s funding has increased by $6.7 million, bringing the total to over $74 million in financial support available to qualified landlords. Eligible landlords have been able to apply for up to $30,000 per rental unit, covering past due rent and eligible expenses since April 1, 2022. 

Since 1975, the County of Los Angeles Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA) has been the local consumer protection agency serving County consumers, tenants, homeowners, immigrants, and workers. DCBA provides a wide range of services that aim to foster a fair and dynamic marketplace and enhance the economic wellbeing of our communities. This includes investigating consumer fraud complaints, enforcing the County’s minimum wage, tenant and worker protections, and providing access to justice programs. More information can be found at dcba.lacounty.gov or by calling (800) 593-8222.
