Santa Monica assistance programs. 

Get housing as well as rent help.

St. Joseph Center, which works closely with low-income families as well as the homeless, has entered into an agreement with the City of Santa Monica to initiate and carry out its Homeless Prevention & Rapid Rehousing Program. This program is funded by the federal government, and it provides services such as grants for rent payments, security deposits, energy bills, case management and other direct financial assistance to people who are in danger of losing their homes or who are currently homeless. The organization will partner with the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles to also provide free yet high quality legal advice.

The local St. Joseph Center has a strong history of providing ongoing financial assistance, case management, housing relocation and other assistance to local families.

The organization also offers other programs to assist low and moderate income people, including a free food pantry, Homeless Service Center, and various senior services and aid.

They are located at 1848 Lincoln Blvd # 100, Santa Monica, CA. Contact them for more information or to apply. Phone (310) 450-5927.

The City of Santa Monica can offer families and residents assistance as well, however these services are only available to residents of Santa Monica. The Human Services Division is focused on preventing homelessness in the city. The organization has created a collaborative approach that spans prevention and outreach.

The main address is at 1685 Main Street Room 212, Santa Monica, California 90401. Call 310-458-8701.

The City Of Santa Monica Housing And Economic Development Department and the Housing Authority is another place to turn to. The government agency provides rental assistance and housing services for residents. They do this in the form of section 8 housing vouchers and other related services. Most of the aid they offer does have income restrictions and other conditions in place, and geographic restrictions apply as well.
