San Bernardino County has established a rent relief program to help people affected by COVID-19.
The San Bernardino County Relief Partnership will disperse more than $46.8 million to county residents with overdue rent payments, or to people who have struggled to pay their rent and may do so in the future, according to a statement on the county’s website.
Applicants can apply for past payments accrued from March 13, 2020 until now. The program is scheduled to remain in place through Dec. 31, 2021 or until funds run out.
“This program will bring much-needed relief to tenants trying desperately to stay in their homes and, in turn, landlords who have been hard-hit by the economic effects of the pandemic,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Curt Hagman in the statement.
Landlords whose tenants are behind on rent can begin the application process for them, as long as the tenant completes the tenant portion of the application process.
