Am I Eligible?

You may be eligible for rental assistance if you:

  • Live in Los Angeles County.

  • Are facing eviction within the next 30 days.

  • Are a low-income resident.

  • Are facing a temporary financial hardship and can demonstrate the future ability to pay rent moving forward.

Don't wait. The Step Fund can provide the quick, direct help you need to stay housed.


How It Works

We offer rental assistance to low-income residents of LA County who are facing eviction in the next 30 days due to a recent financial problem, and who demonstrate future ability to pay rent moving forward.

Fill out a simple online application*, and complete a verification interview with a friendly member of our team. Our goal is to notify loans within 7 days. Completing an application does not guarantee access to rental assistance.

If you are eligible and offered rental assistance, funds are disbursed upon approval and acceptance to your landlord, property manager, or utility company.
