Rent relief resources

Connect with a community-based organization for SF ERAP application support, tenant-based voucher support, housing counseling, and eviction prevention legal services.

If you have experienced a recent financial hardship and need one-time help with back rent or need help with a security deposit, visit the SF ERAP online application to see if you are eligible to apply. Financial assistance is available only to households most at risk of housing loss or homelessness. Funding is limited and SF ERAP will not be able to serve every household that meets minimum eligibility criteria.

Learn more about SF ERAP’s by visiting the program webpage. Review the SF ERAP Program Rules or Frequently Asked Questions.

If you need help negotiating a payment plan with your landlord, you or your landlord may contact the Bar Association of San Francisco’s Conflict Intervention Service at (415) 782-8940 or cis@sfbar.org.
