Eviction Rental Assistance Program
 
Overview: The Eviction Rent Assistance Program (ERAP) Grant is intended to prevent evictions by paying past due, current due and future rent, targeting limited resources to those with the greatest needs while working to distribute funds. Up to three months of rent payments in any combination of rental arrears, current rent or future rent through December 2020. Payments to landlords or friend/family can only be up to 80% of total rent due (arrears, current, future) OR the Fair Market Rent rate.
 
Program Goals:
  • Prevent evictions
  • Target limited resources to people most likely to become homeless after eviction
  • Target limited resources to people most likely to suffer severe health consequences as a result of eviction
  • Promote equity in who is served, with a focus on equity for groups of people who historically have not been provided equitable access to rent assistance and those who have disproportionately been impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak: Latinx or Hispanic, young adults, Black or African American, American Indian and Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.
 
Authorizing Statute and Funding Source: Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (P.L. 116-136)
 
Eligibility:
There isn’t enough funding to assist all of the households who may be eligible for rent assistance under this program. The purpose of the eligibility screening criteria is to initially open the program assistance to a large group of households and then target those most likely to become homeless but for this assistance.
 
Households must meet two initial screening criteria:
  • Current Income (0ver last 60 days) at or below 50% of Area Median Income.
  • At least one month of rent not paid or partially unpaid since March 1, 2020.
  • Household must also meet at least one of the following additional screening criteria (any member of the household can meet the criteria, it doesn’t have to be the head of household):
    • Rent burdened: 50% or more of current monthly income is needed to pay rent.
    • Previously homeless within last five years. This includes experiences of couch surfing/double up.
    • Eviction history within last seven years.
    • Housing disrupted due to household member race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, or religion.
    • At risk of severe illness as per CDC (62or older, underlying condition).
    • Disability of any household member. Includes a physical, developmental, mental, or emotional impairment, including impairment caused by alcohol or drug abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, or brain injury. A person with HIV/AIDS is considered disabled.
    • If screening a young adult age 24 or younger, these additional criteria can be used to determine eligibility:
      • Person 24 years old or younger that is pregnant or parenting.
      • Person 24 years old or younger that is a recipient (current or past) from any one of the following: foster care; adoption; mental health; drug, alcohol treatment; court systems.
  • United States citizenship is NOT an eligibility requirement of this program

 El Departamento de Salud del Condado de Pacific comenzará a aceptar solicitudes de asistencia para el alquiler el lunes 17 de agosto de 2020.

 Programa de asistencia de alquiler por desalojo

 Descripción general: La subvención del Programa de asistencia de alquiler por desalojo (ERAP) está destinada a prevenir los desalojos mediante el pago de alquileres vencidos, vencidos actuales y futuros, dirigiendo los recursos limitados a aquellos con las mayores necesidades mientras se trabaja para distribuir fondos.  Hasta tres meses de pagos de alquiler en cualquier combinación de atrasos de alquiler, alquiler actual o alquiler futuro hasta diciembre de 2020. Los pagos a propietarios o amigos / familiares solo pueden ser hasta el 80% del alquiler total adeudado (atrasos, actual, futuro) O el  Tarifa de alquiler de mercado justa.
 Metas del programa:
Prevenir desalojos

 Dirigir los recursos limitados a las personas con más probabilidades de quedarse sin hogar después del desalojo
 Dirigir los recursos limitados a las personas con más probabilidades de sufrir graves consecuencias para la salud como resultado del desalojo.
 Promover la equidad en quiénes son atendidos, con un enfoque en la equidad para grupos de personas a quienes históricamente no se les ha brindado acceso equitativo a la asistencia para el alquiler y aquellos que se han visto afectados de manera desproporcionada por el brote de COVID-19: latinos o hispanos, adultos jóvenes, negros o  Afroamericanos, indios americanos y nativos de Alaska, nativos de Hawái u otras islas del Pacífico.

 Estatuto de autorización y fuente de financiamiento: Ley de Ayuda, Alivio y Seguridad Económica por el Coronavirus (CARES) (P.L.116-136)

 Elegibilidad:
 No hay fondos suficientes para ayudar a todos los hogares que pueden ser elegibles para recibir asistencia para el alquiler bajo este programa.  El propósito de los criterios de selección de elegibilidad es abrir inicialmente la asistencia del programa a un grupo grande de hogares y luego apuntar a aquellos con más probabilidades de quedarse sin hogar si no fuera por esta asistencia.

 Los hogares deben cumplir con dos criterios de selección iniciales:
 Ingresos actuales (durante los últimos 60 días) iguales o inferiores al 50% del ingreso medio del área.
 Al menos un mes de alquiler no pagado o parcialmente impago desde el 1 de marzo de 2020.
