California COVID-19 Rent Relief Program to Continue |
|
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
- State-level eviction protections change at the end of the month: Though the current eviction protections end today, September 30, starting October 1 a modified eviction protection goes into effect through March 31, 2022, for those who are eligible for rental assistance. The protections can be accessed by applying for rental assistance.
-
The state's rent relief program is not ending on September 30. The program is active and currently accepting applications. There is no deadline to apply; the program will continue to accept applications until the funds run out.
- That's why we want to encourage all vulnerable tenants to apply to the program as soon as possible, but there is no deadline to apply.
-
According to the law, if a tenant receives a "pay or quit" notice from their landlord starting October 1, to access state protections they must immediately (within 15 days) apply for rent relief if they have not already done so. READ MORE

Barragán & Lieu Request Navy Continue to Allow Children Access to Local Ballfields |
|
On Oct. 8, 2021, Congresswoman Nanette Diaz Barragán announced that she and Congressman Ted Lieu asked U.S. Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro to prevent dramatic increases in user fees the Navy charges local organizations to use Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) ballfields in the Los Angeles Harbor region.
“Baseball is America’s favorite pastime and it shouldn’t be unaffordable for kids to play. Local Little Leagues and other community organizations simply cannot afford to pay the outrageous increase in fees the Navy is proposing,” Congresswoman Barragán said. “These are fields that kids in San Pedro have been playing on for nearly 50 years and now they are being unnecessarily priced out. Going ahead with this price increase could end up destroying youth baseball and softball in San Pedro and Lomita. I hope we can prevent it.” READ MORE
