Funded by the U.S. Department of Treasury, the PA Homeowner Association Fund helps homeowners experiencing financial hardship because of the COVID-19 pandemic by providing funds to prevent displacement, mortgage delinquencies, foreclosures and loss of utilities or home energy services. Registering for the program is the first step in the process to obtain assistance. The Consolidated Appropriations ACT of 2021 provides funds for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program and is administered through the PA Department of Human Services (DHS). Applications are now being accepted through the DHS COMPASS portal.
