Rental & Deposit Assistance

We prevent families and individuals from becoming homeless by providing one-time assistance with a portion of either the move-in or stay-in costs for rental housing. 

For rental or deposit assistance call (925) 338-1038 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday - Friday (except holidays)

For qualified applicants we may be able to provide:

• Deposit assistance or up to one month of back rental assistance
• Intensive case management services

If you receive TANF/CalWORKs, IHSS, CAPI, or ILSP, please contact your case worker at the Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department for assistance.

This program is funded in part by Contra Costa County CDBG funds and by the cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg and Walnut Creek.
