Dear Local Government Partners:
Today, the California Legislature passed the COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act (SB 91), extending
eviction protections through June 30, 2021 and creating a mechanism to deploy $2.6 B in
Federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) resources to assist struggling tenants and
landlords impacted by the economic damage of COVID-19. Governor Gavin Newsom looks
forward to signing the bill into law.
To assist your jurisdiction in taking immediate steps to participate in the StateÔs Emergency Rental
Assistance Program following are the three options for Cities and Counties with over 200,000 in
population:
1. State Program: Participate in a central state program where both federal allocation and
state allocation are managed on behalf of the City or County by a Community
Development Financial Institution partnered with the State; or
2. Self-Administer: Receive a state block grant allocation and self-administer your share of
rental funds in a manner consistent with state and federal program requirements; or
3. Self-Administer & State Administer: If a City or County chooses to self-administer its federal
allocation but chooses to not conform their local program to the state requirements, it is not
eligible for a block grant. Landlords and tenants located in their jurisdiction may still apply to
the State Program (administered by CDFI) for a proportionate share of the state funds, but
the responsibility to manage duplication of benefits will rest with the City or County.
We request that counties and cities with populations of 200,000 and above complete an
Expression of Intent survey by February 3, 2021. Jurisdictions will be required to submit a final
Expression of Intent Form to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)
by February 12, 2021. This information will assist us in strengthening the program in expeditious
and effective manner.
You are invited to participate in any of the following stakeholder informational events:
Friday, January 29 at 1:00 PM: Call for Cities and Counties over 200,000 in population. To
join the webinar, please click here.
Monday, February 1at 1:00 PM: All stakeholdersÔ informational call. To register for the call,
please click here.
Finally, we will be hosting additional educational webinars in partnership with the California
State Association of Counties (CSAC) and the League of Californian Cities (CA Cities). More
information regarding the webinar and registration will be sent directly by CSAC and CA Cities.
Thank you in advance for your partnership as we work to keep Californians housed throughout
the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
In partnership,
Secretary Lourdes Castro Ramírez
