The first payments are expected to be disbursed in April.
"The economic and social disruption caused by this pandemic has been devastating, and communities within my district -- like Logan Heights and San Ysidro -- have been some of the hardest hit,'' said Councilwoman Vivian Moreno, who represents District 8 and serves on the Land Use and Housing Committee.
"Outreach to these disadvantaged communities is essential to ensure that the
populations hardest hit by this pandemic are getting enrolled in the program
and receive these critically needed funds.''
The program is administered by the San Diego Housing Commission.
"This program will give qualifying families certainty that their past-due rent and utility bills will be paid and the stability of knowing they will not lose their rental home because of the financial effects of this pandemic," SDHC President & CEO Richard C. Gentry said.
