Financial Assistance

Rent Relief
The Los Angeles County Emergency Rent Relief Program is currently accepting applications. The deadline is Friday, January 23, 2026 at 4:59 PM PST.
 
The program offers emergency financial assistance that can be used for:
  • Unpaid rent (rental arrearages)
  • Unpaid mortgage
  • Other unpaid expenses separate from rent, directly related to financial hardship caused by the 2025 Eaton or Palisades fire and windstorm events or any other emergency financial hardship

The program will prioritize landlords with four or fewer units to help reduce the number of tenants being evicted due to unpaid rents.

Click here to join our free Zoom workshop to learn how tenants can partner with their landlords to apply.

The deadline to apply for FEMA disaster assistance has passed. If you have already applied for FEMA relief and disagree with their decision, you have the right to appeal—and we can help! Join one of LAFLA’s upcoming FEMA Appeals Clinics to get step-by-step guidance on how to file an appeal and understand your rights in the process.

After a disaster, FEMA can reimburse expenses for immediate needs as well as for repair and recovery. Common examples include:

  • Temporary housing, such as hotels, motels, or rental assistance
  • Immediate needs, such as water, food, first aid, prescriptions, infant formula, breastfeeding equipment, diapers, personal hygiene items, and transportation fuel
  • Childcare
  • Recovery supplies, such as generators, dehumidifiers, chainsaws
  • Home repairs, including accessibility needs
  • Personal property, such as appliances, furniture, computers, and work or school supplies
  • Transportation, such as a car you relied on
  • Medical needs, such as medical/dental equipment, breastfeeding equipment, prescription medicine, or lost or injured service animals

FEMA only assists with costs that are not covered by insurance or other programs. If you have insurance, apply there first.
