humidity stays very low and a small spark could spread very quickly because of the extremely high vegetation in the north bay mountains. we're monitoring wind speeds. the sudden move in santa cruz county to lift indoor mask requirements has bay area counties taking notice. it comes amidst new data showing covid transmission rates declining. one county already talking about doing the same thing. have they talked about what led to this decision? >> reporter: good morning. the health leaders in santa cruz are pointing to some positive movement with that decline in the number of covid cases as well as the number of folks in the bay area that have already received their full vaccination. according to the santa cruz department of health, they dropped down to that yellow tier

or the moderate transmission range. according to the cdc, that's the threshold enough to immediately lift a mask mandate. some business owners in santa cruz said they plan on keeping their own mask rules in place at least for a couple of weeks. in san mateo county, public health officials say they will consider relaxing or removing indoor mask rules based on transmission rates. in san francisco mayor london breed says her team will continue to monitor the data. >> we're seeing the numbers decline. in fact, many of the indoor venues require that people are vaccinated. >> reporter: california is leading the nation in having the lowest covid-19 rate. the golden state currently is rated substantial while every other state in the nation is in that high category. we will continue to keep a close eye on what the local health departments decide to do.

as they continue to decline the covid transmission rate, you'll probably see more counties relaxing mask mandates. here's a look at the state and where it stands when it comes to covid numbers. california's positivity rate hit a low in june with less than 1%. so in august we went up more than 7%, as you can see. well, ever since then it's been pretty steadily dropping and now sits at 2.5%. santa cruz is just above 1%. in san francisco and santa cruz counties the rate is only slightly higher. the clock ticking down to a possible federal shutdown, democrats confident they can pass a spending bill to avoid it. less sure they can pass two key parts of president biden's agenda. chris pollone has the latest.

where does congress stand right now? >> reporter: good morning. the senate will vote today on a bill which would fund the federal government until early december. the house is scheduled to vote on that $1 trillion. bipartisan infrastructure bill. however, it's not clear whether that bill will actually be voted on today. that's because progressives in the house of representatives say they will vote that infrastructure bill down unless senate democrats reach agreement to pass a $3.5 trillion bill supporting social programs and measures to fight climate change. so far, west virginia's joe manchin and arizona's kyrsten sinema, the two democrats rejecting the larger build back better spending bill. >> then that's where we are. we're no on the bipartisan bill until we get a vote on the reconciliation bill. >> reporter: last night

president biden went to the annual congressional baseball game between republicans and democrats, no doubt taking a few swings at rallying support for his agenda. if lawmakers are able to avoid a government shutdown, then the next looming crisis happens october 18th. lawmakers only have until that day to pass a debt limit increase. otherwise, the nation would default on its debts for the first time in history. >> thanks for the latest. alameda county deputies are talking about busting what they believe is one of the largest illegal pot grow operations in the state. they posted photos on social media. that bust included 100,000 plants somewhere in the east bay. the state attorney's office has been appointed to replace outgoing dennis herrera,

available from the state of california. as of monday, more than 309,000 households have applied for assistance, asking for the nearly $3 billion that's available. the state has paid so far nearly $650 million to about 55,000 households and has also approved another $950 million in assistance that is in the process of being paid. the census bureau conducts pulse surveys to get a sense of how americans are faring. the latest data reveals more than 600,000 californians are not current on their rent and believe they could experience an eviction in the next two months. nationwide that number is around 4.5 million. while some tenants have continued to stay on top of rent since the beginning of the pandemic last spring, some housing experts say landlords

have also struggled. debra carlton is the executive vice president for the california apartment association. she tells us more than 50% of the housing in california is situated in small units. she says the pandemic has hurt a number of small landlords. evictions could be a domino effect not only on the renters, but those who own the property as well. >> we certainly want to keep people in place. i know rental property owners are in the business of providing housing. it's not valuable at all for anybody to evict a tenant because it's expensive, time consuming and you end up with a vacant unit. we want for our communities to have stable housing and landlords to get the rent so they don't end up in foreclose you're. >> reporter: carlton goes on to say even though this moratorium ends today, tomorrow she does not expect us to see a, quote r eviction cliff. she says state law protects

landlords and tenants who apply for state dollars for this relief. . we want to bring in consumer investigator chris camora. >> there's been a lot of confusion over this, because the eviction moratorium expires today and there has been talk about how the rent relief program is going to end october 1st too. no, the program doesn't end. the california covid-19 relief program is slated to keep running until the money runs out and it hasn't. eviction experts say you need to apply if you have a covid-19 hardship, asap. >> what's really helpful is that it's not just based on a certain amount of rent. it's really based on what rent

do you owe and that is legitimately the rent that you haven't been able to pay because of the pandemic. >> here is the relief available. help paying 100% of back rent as far back as april of this year or future rent and utilities up to the next year and a half. that is potentially a huge help for families. >> who can apply? >> lots of people. let's look at exactly who's eligible. first you got to live in california and have a covid-19 financial hardship. that could mean lower wages or higher expenses. your income needs to be less than 80% of the county median. in santa clara county for a family of four it's $117,000 a year. >> how do you apply? >> you go to the state. there are two routings. you can do it online or by phone. the website is housingiskey.com.

i recommend doing that route. 833, 430-2122 to do it by phone. online it takes about a half an hour. but you're going to wait a half an hour if you call in. it's smart to have paystubs, w-2s and tax returns. one last note here. if you're facing eviction, applying for help early is key because eviction lawyers told us that an application for rent relief that you filed before you receive a notice or within the first 15 days after you get it can pause your eviction. that is a huge step that could keep you in your home. we just made a step by step video that walks you through this entire process. it is on our website right now as well as our streaming platforms like youtube. just look for our "how to" play list.

on that tomorrow morning. so i'm going to make that an order now. >> reporter: the agreement to keep the government open does not include any action on what is really a much more important issue and that is the debt ceiling. that is still dangling over us. the american economy facing a crisis if the government doesn't pay its debt. now, there may be a vote in the house on one of two bills, the infrastructure bill today. this is the bill most people, republicans and democrats, seem to like. the other bill, the much more expensive build back better bill is facing opposition. liberals were promised these would be put up for a vote together. if they're split apart, some members of the democrats' left wing have said they will vote against it, people like alexandria ocasio-cortez. this is a bill they like and they want. will she live up to her threat? we'll find out today.
