COUNTY EXPANDS PILOT SHALLOW RENTAL SUBSIDY PROGRAM FOR OLDER ADULTS

By Cassie N. Saunders, County of San Diego Communications Office
 
May 22, 2024 (San Diego) -- The County is expanding a pilot shallow rental subsidy program for older adults to support an additional 160 older adults at risk of homelessness.  
 
The County of San Diego Department of Homeless Solutions and Equitable Communities’ program will provide at-risk San Diego County residents over 55-years-old with a $500 monthly rental subsidy for 18 months. The money will go directly to participants’ landlords. 
 
Applications can be submitted starting today, May 22. The participants will be selected at random. Those selected will join 222 households previously chosen for the original pilot program in early 2023, which was subsequently approved for expansion by the County Board of Supervisors.
