Are You Losing Your Housing
and Have Nowhere to Live?

What is HPRP?

HPRP is a new program that offers help for people with temporary financial difficulties. If you’ve unexpectedly fallen on some hard times, the County of Los Angeles wants to help you stay in your home or find a good, safe place to live.

HPRP can help you pay for costs such as:

  • Back rent
  • Rental assistance
  • Security deposit for a new apartment
  • Past-due gas and electric bills
  • Fees to turn on your utilities

The program may also offer:

  • A short-term rental subsidy
  • Mediation services
  • Consumer counseling
  • Legal services

There are income and residency requirements for HPRP. HPRP serves the recently homeless or those at-risk of becoming homeless. HPRP (The Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program) is not designed to help the chronically homeless. For services to help the chronically homeless call 2-1-1 L.A. County’s information hotline.

Who qualifies?

This program is designed to help individuals, couples, and families who:

  • Have a low income
  • Are in danger of losing the place they are renting or have recently lost their place to live
  • Live in the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County or one of 66 participating cities*.
