End of Emergency Housing Voucher assistance for 482 households
Long Beach
Summary
Federal emergency housing vouchers that help 482 Long Beach households pay rent are expected to run out around October 2026 — earlier than the original 2030 timeline — because of rising rents and faster spending. Households have been added to other wait lists, and the city is waiting to learn if HUD tenant-protection funds will soften the blow.

Impact analysis
Once assistance ends, affected tenants would be responsible for their full rent unless replacement federal or local funds arrive.
The 482 voucher households benefit from the transition planning and wait-list placements now underway.
If no replacement funding arrives, hundreds of low-income households could face unaffordable rent or displacement this fall.
