CAPITOLA EMERGENCY HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

This program is the Capitola-funded portion of The Shelter Project, administered by the Community Action Board (CAB). The program is designed to prevent very low income Capitola households from becoming homeless due to an unexpected financial event, such as job loss, sudden disability, or major medical expenses, that prevents them from making their regular monthly rent or mortgage payment. The program provides one-time emergency grants for rent or mortgage payments. The grants are paid directly to the landlord or mortgage company to prevent the household from being evicted or foreclosed upon. In order to be eligible for this assistance, households must be at or below 50% of median income and must include children, a disabled person, or an elderly person as household members. For more information, please see the CAB website at:
