SB91 Overview, Part 2
New State & Federal Emergency Rental Assistance for Landlords (ERAP)
On January 29, 20201, Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB91/TENANT RELIEF ACT (TRA) to extend the eviction moratorium through June 30, 2021 – plus add some new restrictions to make our business even more complicated. It also establishes a rental assistance program for landlords, Emergency Recovery Assistance Program (ERAP). SBRPA lobbied hard for rental assistance to be paid directly to landlords, however there are restrictions.
This program will outline essentials and show you how you can tap into the $27 million in rental assistance that will become available in Santa Barbara County.
TOPICS:
- How do you apply for State Assistance? Federal Assistance?
- What are the restrictions on each program?
- When will the State or County will begin accepting applications for rental assistance?
- Is participation in the State Rental Assistance Program mandatory – or are there other options to collect past rent due?
MEMBERS ONLY PROGRAM.
