I'm joined by my old friend/colleagues on this episode of the podcast to talk about their own podcast called Surviving L.A., our time that we spent working in Westwood, and of course, the current state of the country and the work that needs to be done.

Who is eligible for the latest stimulus bill’s rental relief funds?

Households that make 80% or less of the median income in their area and include at least one person who qualifies for unemployment or has experienced financial hardship because of the pandemic.

Households must also show they are at risk of homelessness or housing instability to qualify.

The income qualification is determined by household income for all of 2020, or monthly income when your household applies for help.

States and local jurisdictions will distribute the money and must prioritize two types of households: those with incomes at or below 50% of the area median income, and those with one or more person who has been unemployed for at least 90 days.

How do I apply?

This isn’t clear yet. The U.S Treasury Department says you will be able to apply through programs set up by states and some local governments.

Russ Heimerich, a spokesman for the California Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency, said Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration is ironing out details with the Legislature.

“There is a desire to get it distributed just as quickly as possible,” he said.

Officials with the city and county of Los Angeles also didn’t have a timeline for when their programs would be up and running.

Yentel said she expects some jurisdictions to start announcing how to apply by late January or early February.

In a statement, L.A. County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Hilda Solis said the county is working with “stakeholders and other partners to obtain feedback on the program design.”

On Jan. 12, Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez submitted a motion that asks staff for recommendations on how to distribute the new rental relief funds.

Frank Ledezma and Robert Stylz join me on the podcast to talk about Main St in Alhambra, Sports, Music, and the insurrection that's leading to a ton of arrests. Tune-in at 10:15 PM, perhaps earlier, but be sure to engage in the comments section if you have any Alhambra-Main St stories! Watch live on Facebook and YouTube!

A lot of stuff happening in my personal life, the loss of a best friend of 27 years, and then the entire world going apeshit. I finally grew the courage to get in front of the camera and microphone and talk about it.

This is the last podcast of 2020 ladies and gentlemen. 2020 was a really lousy year for a lot of people, and just be ready for 2021. 

Early millennium nostalgia is what we will be covering on this episode of the podcast.

This is another edition of the '90s Nostalgia segment of the podcast, where we talk about '90s film, music, and events that impacted the country, if not the world.
