What is the CalAssist Mortgage Fund?
Launched in June 2025, the CalAssist Mortgage Fund provided eligible homeowners whose homes were destroyed or severely damaged as a result of a California disaster with grants covering up to 12 months of mortgage payments, paid directly to their mortgage servicers. These grants never have to be repaid.
Although the program is no longer accepting applications, previously approved homeowners will continue to receive their scheduled mortgage payments.

"I recommend that people going through all of this apply for the program, because I did,” Linares said. “It was a relief and a significant help during this process — something I know many people need right now."
Aurora Barboza Flores told us:
"It's a huge relief. If you ask any Altadena resident who's rebuilding, any of us who have been displaced or lost our homes, the cost is really our biggest stressor. It's what we carry on our shoulders, what we go to sleep with, what we wake up with. That this decision was made at the state level tells us there is a conscious effort to help us rebuild."
Stories like this remind us how devastating disasters can be for families, and why supporting those in need is our top priority. Anyone affected by recent disasters is encouraged to apply.
