HARRISBURG, PA — The Pennsylvania Homeowner Assistance Fund has reopened for homeowners struggling as a result of pandemic-related financial hardships.
The program, managed by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, provides financial assistance to eligible homeowners for mortgage and housing-related expenses to address delinquency and avoid default, foreclosure, or displacement from their homes. It was paused last year as the agency processed a backlog of applications. The agency is now accepting new applications until the remaining funds are exhausted.
So far, more than 15,500 households have received more than $205 million of the $350 million awarded to the commonwealth through the American Rescue Plan Act.
Funds will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to eligible applicants with priority given to homeowners facing an imminent adverse action such as a notice of foreclosure, sheriff sale, or utility shut-off notice. Submitting an application does not guarantee funding.
For more information about the program and how to apply, visit pahaf.org. Homeowners with questions can call 888/987-2423, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
