Not one dollar of state rent-relief money has arrived in SF
2131 San Franciscans have applied to the state program, and only 59 applications are even under review.
But there still may be some hope. San Francisco’s local program with about $24 million in federal funds is expected to launch at the end of this month. While the city cannot excuse rent debt (that is something only the feds and state can do) the local application is said to be simpler and aimed to help tenants with both back rent and forward rent.
