Following are important updates on response to the coronavirus by Mayor Garcetti and Los Angeles County agencies, followed by several links to services

MAYOR'S UPDATES

•   State Reopening Guidelines: On Monday, Governor Newsom gave guidance about how counties may take steps forward from the current stay at home orders. The new guidance allows counties and cities to set their own orders based on real-time data of local public health conditions. LA County may have a lower death rate than the national average, but it has suffered more than half of the COVID-19 related deaths in California despite having only about one-quarter of the state’s population. Our timing on opening may differ from other parts of the state; we will follow the guidance of medical professionals. Physical distancing and face coverings will still be a key after opening.

1.   What is the County’s eviction moratorium?  

 The Los Angeles County Eviction Moratorium (Moratorium), effective March 4, 2020 to May 31, 2020 (Moratorium Period), implements a Countywide ban on evictions for residential and commercial  tenants, and space renters living in mobile home parks, for nonpayment of rent, if the tenant or space  renter can show they have been financially impacted related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
