AI Contract Overview

The City of Santa Monica has developed a Flexible Financial Assistance (FFA) program to address the increasing risk of housing loss among its renters, particularly targeting vulnerable populations such as families with minor children, low- and fixed-income households, seniors, and persons with disabilities. This initiative is primarily funded through Measure GS, approved by voters in November 2022, which increases the real estate transfer tax to support homelessness prevention efforts. The program is designed in response to data showing significant housing cost burdens and eviction risks faced by a substantial portion of Santa Monica renters, with more than 6,700 households severely burdened by rent expenses and nearly 500 renters projected to face unlawful detainer proceedings annually. Recognizing these risks, the City Council adopted a strategic plan in March 2025, incorporating immediate and ongoing financial assistance, eviction prevention support for tenants involved in legal proceedings, and supportive services including case management to stabilize housing. The FFA program offers up to $5,000 in immediate one-time financial aid per household annually, up to $10,000 in ongoing monthly assistance, and up to $20,000 in eviction prevention funds for households receiving legal counsel through the Right to Counsel program. A prioritization tool is also to be implemented to identify households most vulnerable to housing instability. The solicitation issued by the Housing & Human Services Department in early 2026 invites proposals to support the implementation and management of this program. It is complemented by contractual templates addressing service provision, insurance requirements, and compliance standards meant to ensure responsible and effective program administration. The goal is to bolster tenant protections amid high eviction pressures in Santa Monica, prevent homelessness, and assist residents in maintaining stable housing through targeted financial interventions and support services.

General Info

Santa Monica’s FFA program provides up to $20,000 annual aid to prevent renter evictions and homelessness.

History of Flexible Financial Assistance In recent years, the City has identified a growing need to provide financial assistance to Santa Monica residents who are at risk of losing housing. On November 8, 2022, Santa Monica voters approved Measure GS, increasing the real estate transfer tax to fund homelessness prevention. Measure GS 4.90.030(b) prioritizes expenditures to assist families with minor children, low/fixed income households, seniors, and persons with disabilities. The measure establishes the Measure GS Resident Oversight Committee, which serves to provide recommendations to City Council and City staff regarding Measure GS program implementation and evaluation. Measure GS will serve as the primary funding source for the FFA program, while additional funding sources may be utilized On August 22, 2023, Santa Monica's City Council presented Item 16: Protecting Santa Monica's Vulnerable Renters, whereby they asserted the need for "recommendations for programs and ordinances to protect the 70 percent of Santa Monicans who are renters amidst record evictions." To move forward, in December 2023, Housing and Human Services Department staff retained Fetterman-Dunn Consulting (Fetterman-Dunn) to provide recommendations on developing renter protection programs. The 2024 Fetterman-Dunn Renters Protection Report (Attachment F) provided the following analysis on the vulnerability of renters in the Santa Monica community: "More than 6,700 Santa Monica renter households, or 20.5%, are considered severely housing cost burdened (defined as spending 50% or more of their income on rent and utilities). When considering the impact of income on housing stability, the data shows even more Santa Monicans are deemed at-risk with 32% of renters having incomes less than 80% of area median income and spending more than 30% on housing ". Based on available data from the Santa Monica City Attorney's Office and Los Angeles County Department of Consumer & Business Affairs, Fetterman Dunn found that an estimated 472 Santa Monica renters will face unlawful detainer proceedings annually. These risk indicators underscore the importance of enhancing tenant protections – including a robust financial assistance program. In March of 2025, Santa Monica City Council approved the Homelessness Strategic Plan and the Renters' Protection Plan (Attachment G), including the future implementation of a Flexible Financial Assistance (FFA) program with the following components: Immediate one-time assistance, up to a maximum of $5,000 per household, per year, for households at risk of losing housing due to a financial emergency. Ongoing monthly assistance, totaling no more than $10,000 per household, annually, to help the household maintain housing. Up to $20,000 in eviction-prevention financial assistance for unlawful detainer-involved households that are receiving legal services from the Right to Counsel (RTC) program to support tenants in maintaining their housing or, for those who lose their case, to support relocation expenses. Provide supportive services, including case management, to address additional needs that are contributing to housing instability. Create or adopt and utilize a prioritization tool for identifying the most housing-vulnerable households.
