Riverside Housing Stability
Riverside is home to over 314,000 people, a major university, and a growing economy — but its housing costs have risen sharply, and not everyone has benefited equally from that growth. In neighborhoods across the Eastside, Arlanza, and La Sierra, eviction filings continue to affect working families, seniors, and individuals who were one emergency away from losing their home. This community program provides short-term, vendor-paid stabilization through Riverside's established housing nonprofit network — intervening before displacement disrupts families, schools, and communities.
Riverside’s housing costs have risen sharply, and neighborhoods across the Eastside, Arlanza, and La Sierra continue to see eviction filings affect working families and seniors. This program provides short-term, vendor-paid stabilization through established housing nonprofits.
All payments go directly to landlords, Riverside Public Utilities, and service providers. No cash goes to tenants — the Foundation maintains full oversight of every disbursement.
We publish community-level outcomes so Riverside supporters know their generosity helped real families stay housed in their own city.

Common questions
What areas of Riverside does this program cover?
We work with housing partners serving the full City of Riverside and surrounding areas. Eligibility is based on verified need through partner intake, not geographic self-selection.
Can this program help with past-due utility bills?
Utility assistance, including payments to Riverside Public Utilities, is evaluated as part of housing stabilization. Payments are made directly to the utility provider.
Is there a limit on how much assistance a household can receive?
Assistance levels are determined by Foundation discretion based on verified need, program capacity, and individual circumstances. This is not an entitlement program.
How quickly can help arrive?
Timing depends on partner intake and verification. We aim to intervene before displacement occurs, but all cases require documented verification.
