Stockton area and San Joaquin County rent assistance.
Families facing homelessness in San Joaquin County can apply for emergency rental assistance programs. Non-profits, government assistance as well as churches may pay a portion of what is due, or they offer referrals. Most of the financial support is focused on the disabled, families with children, as well as senior citizens, but anyone can apply for rent or security deposit help.
All of the resources in the city of Stockton as well as entire county of San Joaquin are very limited. In many cases, the staff will need to refer an applicant to other federal government grant programs for paying rent or they may partner with other charities. However low income families can still call for assistance, but note that most requests for housing or rental assistance will not be able to be met.
If a resident is facing imminent eviction, then their best option may be to move into transitional housing. This will allow the family time to save money for a security or rent deposit, purse job training, and more. So case management is another option.
Veterans in San Joaquin can enroll into VA’s Supportive Housing or SSVF. Both of these will offer a federal government funded grant and more. The money can be used for paying rent to stop an eviction, energy bills, and other housing costs. It will also help the veterans and their family find permanent, affordable housing to live in. Call (209) 460-5000.
