Indigenous Migrants Month in LA County
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors declared December 2023 as Indigenous Migrants Month in LA County.?Indigenous migrants have been a part of the history of Los Angeles since its founding in 1781, as nine Indigenous individuals were part of the original 44 Los Pobladores.
The County of Los Angeles has made notable strides over the past few years in recognizing the historically overlooked needs of Indigenous migrants.?It is essential that the County of Los Angeles continue the work to uplift the humanity and the dignity of Indigenous migrant communities while expanding access to services for these long-overlooked populations.

LA County Rent Relief Program
DCBA is pleased to announce a new program designed to help qualified landlords who have been impacted by COVID-19 related economic hardships. The Los Angeles County Rent Relief Program will provide over $46 million in direct financial assistance to qualified landlords to help mitigate the negative economic impacts of the pandemic that have left many tenants behind on rent.
The Rent Relief Program will offer grants of up to $30,000 per unit to eligible landlords for expenses dating from April 1, 2022, to the present. The program is specifically designed with a focus on helping small, mom-and-pop landlords who own up to four rental units. Its goal is to reduce tenant evictions due to rent arrears, maintain the viability of small-scale rental businesses, and ensure availability of affordable housing in LA County.
Landlords can apply for the LA County Rent Relief Program beginning in mid-December. The application process will be easy and straightforward, and applicants will receive free multilingual technical support from community partners to guide them through the process and assist with gathering the necessary documentation.
To receive program updates and be notified when the online application opens, register today at lacountyrentrelief.com.
