SUGGESTED: The city of Los Angeles Tuesday will launch its Emergency Renters Assistance Program, with the aim of providing financial assistance toward back rent to low-income renters at risk of homelessness due to COVID-19 or other financial hardships.The Board of Supervisors approved the program on Jan. 24, directing the county Department of Business and Consumer Affairs to distribute $45 million to "mom-and-pop" landlords who are owned back rent.
"Delaying the disbursement of relief funds to mom-and-pop property owners is simply unacceptable," Barger said in a statement. "The motion I introduced included an expectation that this landlord relief program would be launched expeditiously. We've missed the mark and small property owners are bearing the brunt of DCBA's delays.
"It has been almost a year since the board approved the motion to create a Small Property Owner Relief program to equitably provide financial assistance to qualifying landlords that have been hit hardest by the pandemic," Mitchell said in a statement. "Every day we wait, more Angelenos are being evicted or becoming at risk of being evicted. Our shared constituency is counting on us to get this done, and we must do all we can to prevent more residents from being displaced.
