<br /> <br /> <br />Coronavirus Emergency Rental Relief Fund for Tenants Page | 8 <br />Program Guidelines as of June 1, 2021 <br />Fact-Specific Proxy: A grantee may also rely on a written attestation from the applicant <br />as to household income if the grantee also uses any reasonable fact-specific proxy for <br />household income, such as reliance on data regarding average incomes in the <br />household’s geographic area. The City will use the average income in the <br />neighborhood in which the renter lives as verified by a map provided by PolicyMap. The <br />“household’s geographic area” or “neighborhood” is defined as the census block for the <br />household. The average income will be the average income earned per person in the <br />census block area in a specified year, also known as the per capita income. It is <br />calculated by dividing the area’s total income by its total population. <br /> <br />Duplication of Benefits: <br />The City shall ensure that any rental assistance provided to an eligible household is not <br />duplicative of any other Federally funded rental assistance provided to such household. <br />An eligible household that occupies a federally subsidized residential or mix ed-use <br />property may receive assistance, provided that the funds are not applied to costs that <br />have been or will be reimbursed under any other federal assistance. If an eligible <br />household receives a monthly federal subsidy (e.g., a Housing Choice Voucher, P ublic <br />Housing, or Project-Based Rental Assistance) and the tenant rent is adjusted according <br />to changes in income, the renter household may receive assistance for the tenant -owed <br />portion of rent or utilities that is not subsidized. <br /> <br />Pursuant to section 501(k)(3)(B) of Subdivision N of the Act and 2 CFR 200.403, when <br />providing assistance, the City will review the household’s income and sources of <br />assistance to confirm that the assistance does not duplicate any other assistance, <br />including federal, state, or local assistance provided for the same costs. The City will rely <br />on an attestation from the applicant regarding non-duplication with other government <br />assistance in providing assistance to a household. The City will coordinate and participate <br />in joint administrative solutions with the State of California’s Emergency Rental <br />Assistance Program to confirm that the assistance does not duplicate any other <br />assistance. <br /> <br />Receiving unemployment benefits or a stimulus check does not make your hou sehold <br />ineligible. <br /> <br />How do I apply and what are the requirements for my application? <br /> <br />Applications for the CARES for Tenants Program are available on our webpage, in- <br />person or can be requested directly from The Salvation Army, Catholic Charities of <br />Orange County, Latino Health Access or Families Forward.
