Keeping Riverside County Families and Residents Housed 

United Lift is a rental assistance program coordinated between Riverside County, Inland SoCal United Way, and Lift To Rise with the goal of keeping local families and residents housed.    

United Lift has now dispersed all of the rental funding available through the CARES Act. 

Rental assistance funds from other sources are still available but include expanded eligibility requirements. To be income eligible, a household’s income can not exceed 80% of the Area Median Income in Riverside County. All members of the household will be asked to provide proof of income for all income sources.  

Together, we are currently reviewing more than 2,500 applications under those new requirements, which is adding time to the application process. If you have already applied, you will be notified once your application has been reviewed.  

The rental assistance application remains open, but new applications will be placed on a waiting list with applications reviewed on a rolling basis.  

Thank you for your patience as we work quickly and ensure that Riverside County residents are getting the support they deserve. 

Eligibility Requirements: Renters in the County of Riverside who meet the eligibility requirements may receive one-time rental assistance of $3,500 per household under the United Lift Rental Assistance Program. Eligible applicants are: 

1) Renters in the County of Riverside with a lease agreement 

2) Unable to make their rent payments, and 

3) Able to provide documentation of a COVID-19 related financial impact.  

Please review the FAQ at www.unitedlift.org for a more detailed description of eligibility. This application will allow you to upload your eligibility documentation. Here is what you will need: 

1. A government-issued form of Identification 

2. A copy of your lease agreement 

3. Documentation demonstrating a COVID-19 related financial impact. 

You will NOT be eligible for assistance without providing the above eligibility documentation. A complete application, including uploaded eligibility documentation, is REQUIRED for application submission and to be considered for assistance.
