Rent Assistance
With the high costs of rent in Southern California families can quickly get into trouble. We are currently looking for funding for this program. Please contact us if you would be interested in helping to fund the Rent Assistance Program.

This program helps those that are temporarily unable to pay their rent and our no more than one month behind. Typically this inability to pay their rent is because of extenuating circumstances out of their control.
