SANTA ANA, CA – Santa Ana’s COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program has reached a significant milestone - more than $16 million in funding for rental assistance has been distributed to 2,791 low-income Santa Ana households who suffered financial hardship because of the pandemic.
The State of California’s eviction moratorium ended on September 30, 2021. The City of Santa Ana has not extended a local eviction moratorium for residential or commercial tenants past that date.
Tenants are currently protected from eviction for debt accumulated between April 2020 and September 2021 if they have an application in process with a rental assistance program, such as the City’s CARES for Tenants Program.

The State of California has extended residential eviction protections through Sept. 30, 2021. Tenants who were financially impacted by COVID-19 are protected from eviction for nonpayment of rent if the tenant provides their landlord with a signed declaration of financial distress. By Sept. 30, 2021, tenants must pay at least 25% of the rent due during the period of Sept. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2021.
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky has signed an extension to the federal moratorium on residential evictions, further preventing the eviction of tenants who are unable to make rental payments. The moratorium that was scheduled to expire on June 30, 2021, is now extended through July 31, 2021. This is intended to be the final extension of the moratorium.
The City of Santa Ana's eviction moratorium has already expired and the City is following the State and Federal eviction moratoriums. The State moratorium is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2021.
