Tenants and advocates rallied for the state to reopen its rental relief program which closed Thursday.
On Friday night renters and advocates rallied in Boyle Heights asking for help as many tenants continue to recover from the financial damage caused by the pandemic.
Tenants' rights advocates are calling on officials to reopen California's rental relief program which closed to new applicants Thursday night.

According to UCLA's Institute on Inequality and Democracy, more than 500,000 residents in L.A. County are behind on their March rent. "I actually made $11,000 that year," she said."If I would have paid my rent with the little income that I had, I would still have been $1000 short. I wouldn't have been able to pay for my food or take care of my nephew that I have legal guardianship of."
