Emergency Rent Payment Program
The Emergency Rent Payment Program of the Housing
Advocacy Council (HAC) provides eviction prevention for low-income residents of
Monterey County. HAC also provides move-in assistance for low-income homeless
or evicted individuals and families to enable them to move into rental housing
in Monterey County. Following a screening process, HAC may pay up to one
month's rent (maximum of $900 for families and $400 for single individuals) on
behalf of the tenant to the landlord.

-
Homeless families first locate a rental unit and
obtain a signed rental agreement from the landlord. Applicants for
eviction prevention must have a 3 - day notice prior to scheduling an
appointment for an interview.
-
The applicant then calls
831-424-9186 for an appointment for an interview.

assistance, applicants will be required to provide income verification,
identification, and complete money management training.
