Rental Assistance for Small Landlords
The first program will provide payments to landlords with rental properties whose tenants are late on their rent. The Rental Assistance for Small Landlord Program will compensate landlords or property owners for overdue rent payments accumulated since April 2020.
Recipients must meet several criteria, including the following:
  • The property must be located in San Diego County and the owner must be a county resident
  • The landlord must own no more than five rental units
  • Tenants in eligible units must be at least three months past due on their rent
The County will pay benefits directly to the landlord and applications will be accepted until funding runs out. The application period opens Sept. 1.

 
ARE YOU READY?

A “Personal Disaster Plan for People Who May Need Assistance” is currently available for pickup at many County libraries and can be downloaded on the ReadySanDiego.org website. The guide is available in English, Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Japanese, Arabic, traditional and simplified Chinese, Farsi, French, Korean and Somali as well as English and Spanish audio versions. A video has also been created to accompany the new plan.





September is National Preparedness month and to celebrate the Red Cross will be hosting two virtual preparedness presentations. The topics chosen are the most common occurring disasters that affect our area: wildfires and home fires.
 
We’ll be giving tips on how you and your household can prepare ahead and prevent these types of disasters, and how to respond and recover from them. Below are the dates and the links to join the presentation and attached is a flyer with the information.

Many of the streets in Borrego Springs are named after the brands
(used on branding irons) of past ranches in the area.
Can you name this street?
