The CalAssist Mortgage Fund Program, which provides qualified disaster victims with grants of up to three months of mortgage payments (capped at $20,000), has increased its income eligibility limits. Households in Los Angeles County can now qualify if they have household income of up to $211,050 (a $70,000 increase).
To qualify for the grants:
- The applicant’s primary residence must have been destroyed as a result of a qualified California disaster that occurred between January 1, 2023, and January 8, 2025;
- The applicant must meet specified income limits; and
- The property must be an eligible property, which includes a single-family home, condo, or permanently affixed manufactured home.
Applications are free and submitted online. The funds are paid directly to mortgage servicers and never have to be repaid.
