As noted in the Orange County Health Care Agency press release, effective June 15th, 2021, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has announced the state will move beyond the "Blueprint for a Safer Economy," the color-coded system that had been in place for most the COVID-19 pandemic. Economic sectors that had been operating under modified guidelines may return to "usual operations" with limited exceptions. For more information and more specific guidance, please visit the State of California's COVID-19 webpage HERE.
CDC UPDATES MASK GUIDANCE FOR FULLY VACCINATED PEOPLE
On April 27th, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its mask guidance for fully vaccinated individuals. However, the State of California continues to require the use of masks in California through June 15th, 2021. For more information and guidance, please visit the CDC's website at https://bit.ly/3sQOE2M.

CITY OF LA HABRA EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The City of La Habra's Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) (Spanish version click HERE) will provide emergency rental assistance grants to income-eligible individuals and families residing in La Habra who have been economically impacted through job loss, furlough, or reduction in work hours as a direct result of COVID-19. Emergency grants are rental payments made to a landlord/property management company on behalf of an income-eligible applicant for a maximum of three (3) consecutive months in order for the applicant to maintain housing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Applications (English version click HERE, Spanish version click HERE) may be submitted by mail or in person by visiting the City of La Habra Community Development Department at La Habra City Hall (110 East La Habra Boulevard, La Habra, CA 90631).
As noted in the ERAP Guidelines (English version click HERE, Spanish version click HERE), the City of La Habra recommends all applications be delivered in person to ensure delivery. Hand delivered applications may be submitted Monday-Thursday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. in a sealed envelope. The submission of an application DOES NOT guarantee award of a grant to the applicant. At the conclusion of the application period, the City will hold a lottery to randomly order and preliminarily select the individuals and families that are eligible for the award of an ERAP grant. Once selected, the City will conduct a review of the application to confirm eligibility and request any additional documentation. Applicants are strongly encouraged to thoroughly review the ERAP guidelines to ensure their application includes all necessary documents and failure to provide all requested documents may result in an applicant's ineligibility. Applicants are encouraged to contact the City of La Habra Housing Division at 562-383-4108 before they submit their application.
Successful applicants will be contacted by the City once the application submission period has concluded. In the event the number of eligible applicants does not exceed the total funding available for the program, the City will continue to operate the program on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please direct all ERAP questions to the City of La Habra Housing Division at 562-383-4108.
