- $500 for the first unit landlords rent to a household experiencing homelessness and $250 for each additional unit
- A Landlord Contingency Fund that helps landlords cover expenses, such as repairs, unpaid rent, and legal fees that exceed the security deposit.
- Dedicated San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) housing specialists to answer landlords’ questions
All assistance is subject to compliance with LEAP guidelines, California Civil Code 1950.6 and any other federal, state or local ordinances that may apply.
