SACRAMENTO, Calif — The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) is again accepting applications for its rental assistance program for residents affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
萨克拉门托，加州——萨克拉门托住房和再开发局(SHRA)再次接受受冠状病毒大流行影响居民的租赁援助计划的申请。
The Sacramento Emergency Rental Assistance Program (SERA2) is aimed at helping low-income renters in the city and county who have been impacted by the pandemic to catch up on past-due rent and utility payments.
萨克拉门托紧急租赁援助方案(SERA2)旨在帮助市和县受大流行影响的低收入租户补交逾期租金和公用事业费用。
“This is exactly the same [as it was for applicants in February]. All we’re doing is we’re trying to open up the application process and continue to get applications while we are processing the applications from February and March,” Deputy Executive Director at SHRA Sarah O’Daniel said.
“这与(2月份的申请者情况)完全相同。我们所做的就是开放申请流程，在我们处理2月和3月的申请期间同时，可以继续处理新的申请，”SHRA的副执行主任Sarah O 'Daniel说。
Residents may even be eligible for assistance on prospective rent for the months of April, May and June 2021, O’Daniel said. The application period begins on Tuesday, May 11.
奥丹尼尔表示，2021年4月、5月和6月，居民甚至有资格获得预期租金援助。申请期从5月11日(星期二)开始。
“The good news is there is no deadline right now. It is going to be continuously open so that we can get as many applications as possible. So people do not have to rush and try and stay up late and apply at 12:01 a.m. They can apply anytime,” O'Daniel said.
“好消息是现在没有最后期限。它将持续开放，这样我们就可以得到尽可能多的申请。所以人们不必匆匆忙忙，熬夜，在12:01申请。他们可以随时申请。”
Landlords can apply for assistance on behalf of their tenants and tenants may also apply on their own behalf.
房东可以代表租客申请协助，租客也可以代表自己申请。
Eligible residents must have an income at or below 80% of the median income for the area. Residents who have been unemployed for 90 or more days, or who are at or below 50% of the median income, will be given priority. You must also be renting in the city or county of Sacramento in order to be eligible.
符合条件的居民的收入必须达到或低于该地区收入平均水平的80%。失业超过90天的居民，或收入低于平均水平50%的居民，将得到优先考虑。你还必须在萨克拉门托市或县租赁，以符合资格。
“We do prioritize rental arrears and we also prioritize families that earn 50% or area median income or less. So, for a family of one, they can’t earn more than $31,750 or for a family of five they can’t earn more than $48,950,” O’Daniel explained.
“我们确实会优先考虑租金拖欠，我们也会优先考虑收入为50%地区平均收入或更低的家庭。所以，对于一家三口来说，他们的收入不能超过31750美元，而对于五口之家，他们的收入不能超过48950美元。”
All applicants must “have at least one household member that is qualified for unemployment benefits OR has experienced a reduction in household income, incurred significant costs, or has experienced a financial hardship due to COVID-19.” Applicants must also “demonstrate housing instability or a risk of being unhoused,” officials said.
所有申请人必须“至少有一名家庭成员符合领取失业救济金的条件，或因COVID-19导致家庭收入减少、或经历过经济困难”。官员们表示，申请人还必须“证明住房不稳定或无房可住的风险”。
Those who applied for the SERA1 program from 2020 can apply again. However, if you applied in February or March 2021 and are still waiting to hear back, O'Daniel says to sit tight.
从2020年开始申请SERA1项目的人可以再次申请。不过，如果你是在2021年2月或3月申请的，还在等回音，奥丹尼尔说还是耐心等待吧。
"For families that applied in February and March, if they haven't heard back that means we're still processing their application so they don't need to apply again because then that would be a duplicate application," O'Daniel said.
奥丹尼尔说:“对于在2月和3月申请的家庭来说，如果他们没有得到回复，这意味着我们还在处理他们的申请，所以他们不需要再次申请，因为那将是重复的申请。”
She also recommends prospective applicants have all necessary documents ready and upload them because the agency can then process applications faster. There are also organizations on the SHRA website that can help families complete their applications. Bilingual staff is also available to help families.
她还建议准备申请的人准备好所有必要的文件并上传，因为该机构可以更快地处理申请。在SHRA网站上也有一些组织可以帮助家庭完成他们的申请。此外，还提供双语员工帮助家庭。
The City of Sacramento was awarded $31.6 million for emergency rent assistance from the US Treasury and California Senate Bill 91, the “Tenant Relief Act.”
萨克拉门托市从美国财政部和加州参议院91号法案“租户救济法案”中获得了3160万美元的紧急租金援助。
Sacramento County will also apply a total federal and state allocation of $64 million in emergency rental assistance to the SERA2 Program. All funds must be spent by the end of the year, according to federal and state guidelines.
萨克拉门托县还将把联邦和州拨款的6,400万美元紧急租赁援助资金用于SERA2计划。根据联邦和州的指导方针，所有的资金必须在年底前用完。
As for the $5.2 Billion toward rent relief announced by Gov. Gavin Newsom, Monday, from the state's budget surplus, O'Daniel says it's too early to know what impact it will have.
至于州长加文·纽森(Gavin Newsom)周一宣布从州预算盈余中拿出52亿美元来减免房租，奥丹尼尔说，现在还不知道会有什么影响。
“It’s great to see an additional infusion of dollars into the program to help our families in terms of utilities and arrears, but a little premature for us to know the details and how it might vary from the current program,” she said.
她说:“很高兴看到这项计划得到额外的注资，以帮助我们的家庭解决水电和欠款问题，但是现在要知道细节以及它与目前的计划有什么不同还为时过早。”
An additional $21+ billion in funds coming down from the federal government as part of the American Rescue Plan could ensure future rental assistance programs in Sacramento County as well.
作为美国救援计划(American Rescue Plan)的一部分，**还将提供210多亿美元的资金，以确保萨克拉门托县未来的租房援助计划也能得到落实。
"We anticipate that there will be additional funds coming down for rental assistance in the near future," O'Daniel said.
“我们预计在不久的将来会有额外的资金用于租赁援助，”O'Daniel说。
