Shasta and Tehama rental assistance.
Assistance for paying rent is available from agencies across the greater Redding area. When seeking help, whether in the form of a grant or other financial aid, due to the demand from the region the funding is limited. Priority for any rent help will be given to people working towards self-sufficiency, with another focus on senior citizens as well as homes with children in them.
The process to apply for housing assistance, whether from a non-profit or the government, is extensive. Any money for paying rent will be combined with help in locating a more permanent, affordable home to live in. In some instances, there may also be emergency motel vouchers passed out or some families will be given a no-interest loan for their rent from the Shasta or Tehama County general assistance (GA) program. More information on these resources, as well as security deposit programs, are below.
