COVID-19 Response & Recovery Fund — Housing Stabilization

ATTENTION:

The Give2SF Housing Stabilization Program is currently reviewing applications submitted on or before Friday, May 15, 2020. If you applied during that time, you will have received a status notification about your application. If your application was not selected in this round of application review, please do not reapply. Your application will be considered again in future rounds of application review.

For tenants who have been financially impacted by COVID-19 and are unable to pay rents due between March 13 and June 30, you must notify your landlord of your financial situation. If you do so each month, these rents will be due December 30, 2020. To learn about San Francisco’s eviction moratorium and the notification process visit: https://sf.gov/information/about-residential-eviction-moratoriums-due-covid-19.

If you have not already applied, you may do so below. Notifications for the next round of application review will go out in late June 2020.

The City and County of San Francisco’s Give2SF Fund for Housing Stabilization provides financial assistance to eligible households, regardless of immigration status, who have experienced a substantial loss of income due to COVID-19 and cannot afford their housing costs.

Eligible households may apply for up to $3,000 for assistance meeting rent, utility, and other housing costs per application period (with a total maximum amount of assistance per household of $10,000).
