Sacramento Emergency Rental Assistance (SERA)

Applicants living outside the City of Sacramento but residing within the County of Sacramento may still apply for rental assistance from the SERA Program.

There are no SERA funds for City of Sacramento residents (funds are depleted)

Priority will be given to County applicants who have received an eviction notice that has been filed with the court and have met the SERA program eligibility requirements.
