Thousands of Californians on the brink of homelessness as federal rent program ends

Summary

$5 billion pot of federal money set aside to help people on verge of homelessness pay the rent is running out of cash.

No one has a plan to keep the roughly 60,000 renters, more than 15,000 of them in California , from losing their housing after the last dollar is spent.

It remains unclear whether the program is winding down simply because it has run out of funds on its own accord.

The City of Los Angeles stopped accepting new applications for its general Housing Choice Voucher program, citing uncertain support from Washington .

The federal housing department did not respond to repeated emails and voice messages requesting an interview.

The housing voucher programs pay the difference between a tenant’s income and rent, soaring rents and stagnant incomes mean the government pays more.
