Let's start with a little FAQ!
What types of assistance do you offer?
We offer three main types of housing assistance for people in various situations.
- We can help place you into an apartment via help with first month's rent and security deposit
- We can help keep you in your apartment via ongoing, income-based rental assistance payments
- We can help keep you in your house via ongoing, time-restricted, income-based mortgage assistance
Who do you serve?
We serve a very wide geographic area, and are able to offer housing assistance to 6 of our beautiful counties in parts of North Central and Northeast Pennsylvania. If you're in Tioga, Bradford, Sullivan, Columbia, Montour, or Northumberland county, we might be able to help you out!
Who can apply?
Our funds are very restricted, so, unfortunately, we cannot accept self-referrals. Our referrals for clients must come from one of three sources:
- Verified Community Based Organizations
- Healthcare Organizations
- Government Bodies
What's the catch?
As long as you qualify to be a member of our program, agree to ongoing contact from our team, have a qualifying income, and agree to housing inspections, you can receive these forms of assistance!
Where are you located?
The short answer is - we aren't!
Since the pandemic, we decided our staff will work remotely. Because it did not impact our ability to complete our important work, we decided to scrap the overhead costs of having a physical location and reallocate those funds to better serving our clients.
If we need to meet with clients or landlords, we have several community partners spread throughout our service area which allow us to use their spaces to meet with people.
