LA City Council President Moves to use $100 Million for Coronavirus Rent Relief

Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez filed a motion on Wednesday, May 27, to use $100 million in federal funding to support the city’s COVID-19 Emergency Renters Relief Program.

The city is slated to receive about $694 million in total aid from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. The motion would direct $100 million to assist residential tenants, landlords and commercial lease holders. The program is intended to begin July 1, Martinez said.

“From the very start of this pandemic, the Los Angeles City Council and Mayor (Eric) Garcetti have had one job, and that is to keep Angelenos safe,” Martinez said. “We’ve done that to protect their health and … we continue to do that to ensure their safety and their wellbeing. The next step is to protect their housing.”

A website for the program has not yet been established, as the city is trying to create a site that can withstand the tens of thousands of people expected to use it without crashing.
