Part ofHousing Stability & Eviction Prevention
As Perris grows, housing stability can’t be left behind.
Perris has experienced significant residential growth, attracting families seeking affordability in southern Riverside County. But affordability is relative — and for households living on tight margins, the gap between stable housing and displacement is often just one unexpected expense. This community program provides vendor-paid rent and utility assistance through local housing partners, helping Perris families stay in their homes during short-term financial hardship.
About this program
Provides short-term housing stabilization for Perris households facing imminent displacement. Rent and utility payments go directly to landlords and service providers through verified local partners. Foundation-administered under the Housing Stability & Eviction Prevention pillar with transparent reporting.

Have questions?
What supporters ask
Does this cover areas near Perris like Menifee or Sun City?
This program focuses on the Perris community and surrounding southern Riverside County areas. Eligibility is based on verified need through partner intake.
How is this different from Section 8 or government housing vouchers?
This is privately funded charitable assistance, not a government program. We do not replace or supplement public housing programs. We coordinate with local partners independently.
Is assistance available for utility bills?
Yes. Utility payment assistance, including electricity, gas, and water, is evaluated as part of housing stabilization. All payments go directly to the utility provider — never as cash to the household.
Is assistance guaranteed?
No. This is a charitable program, not an entitlement. Assistance is based on verified need, partner capacity, and available funding. The Foundation exercises full discretion over all allocation decisions.
