Government funds to help low-income pay rent, utilities because of COVID-19 This income chart is used to determine eligibility for assistance. Low-income residents of Stanislaus County who are struggling with paying rents and utility payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic can receive taxpayer-funded assistance through a local Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). “This provides a wonderful opportunity for some of our Ceres residents to get assistance as a result of being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Ceres City Manager Tom Westbrook. Stanislaus County, the City of Modesto, and the Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority have partnered to implement ERAP which is funded by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the state of California. The ERAP will assist households unable to pay rental and utility arrears accrued due to the COVID-19 pandemic between April 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021.
