The deadline for tenants (renters) and residential landlords to submit applications for the Long Beach Emergency Rental Assistance Program (LB-ERAP) has been extended to July 11, 2021, giving applicants an additional 30 days to submit applications.
A second extension of the LB-ERAP application deadline is being provided as additional federal funding, which the City was expecting through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, recently became available. Additional funding of $21.4 million has increased the total program budget to $51.4 million, allowing the City to extend the application period to assist additional applicants.
LB-ERAP is designed to provide assistance with paying rent and utilities, both for past due bills and future payments. To learn more about program details, including program eligibility and application requirements, visit longbeach.gov/erap.
