For more than a year he’d been racking up IOUs to his landlord and the tab stood at $43,792.So Addis turned to an emergency state program designed to help people like him pay down rental debt accumulated during the pandemic.Later, in the summer of 2021, Gov. Gavin Newsom himself had touted the program, Housing Is Key, as the largest of its kind in the nation. “We’re laser-focused on getting this assistance out the door as quickly as possible,” he said at the time.Addis heard back 20 months after he applied.On June 5, 2023 — his 61st birthday — he received an email, which he shared with CalMatters, notifying him that a payment had been approved in full.But by then it was too late. Addis had already downsized, moving out of his apartment a few blocks from the Mari...
