Rent : Get Help : Friends In Sonoma Helping (FISH)

Apply for Rent Assistance

FISH of Sonoma Valley can ONLY consider applications for rent assistance from those who currently live within Sonoma Valley (zip codes 95476, 95442, and 95452). If you do not live in our service area (or if you are seeking additional assistance) please see the other resources listed at the bottom of this page.

The FISH rental assistance program assists Sonoma Valley residents in need with partial rent or deposit, up to 50% of the current month’s rent. FISH reviews rental applications beginning the 21st of each month and continuing through the 12th of the following month. If you submit your application during that window, a FISH volunteer will contact you within two business days.

Although you may apply online at any time, if you submit your application outside this review period, our rent volunteers will contact you after the 21st of the month.
