California ERAP Community Partners

In establishing a Local Partner Network, the CA COVID-19 Rent Relief program has been able to reach many of California's most vulnerable populations. LISC leads a Local Partner Network of 100+ nonprofit and community based organizations throughout California to provide local, on-the-ground and in-language support to help clients who applied to the program.

Whether it's helping non-English speakers, those without access to the internet, or other challenges that an applicant might face, the combined knowledge and experience of the Local Partner Network continues to provide one-on-one support to qualified applicants as they move through the program.

In turn, the partners have been able to provide real-time feedback to the State to help ensure the program has been effective in reaching the people who need it the most.
