The CEPS program provides support to eligible low-income households in the County of San Diego with the aim of preventing renters from receiving an eviction notice and is focused on case management and wrap-around services.

This program will use a collaborative approach of providing coordinated eviction prevention services and referrals. The supportive services that may be offered vary by the needs of each household. Applications will be reviewed in the order they are received on first-come, first-served basis to meet the programs qualifications and to determine eligibility.

To be eligible for this program, you must:

  • Reside in San Diego County

  • Qualify as a low income household according to the income limits in the chart below (download flyer below for more info)

  • Currently does not have any form of eviction notice

 
 

Note: Rental assistance eligibility varies from household to household and is not guaranteed. A CEPS Outreach & Intake Specialist will contact applicants after submitting an interest form. Applicants will be asked to provide proof of income including paystubs, CalWORKs benefits, Social Security, Social Security Disability Insurance, and Employment Development Department (EDD) award letters to verify household income.

 
 
 
 

Preventing evictions changes everything!
