COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program (Is-Past)

No Current URL

In March 2024, we sought to update this page. A notice, "CLOSED", had been added to the top of the website. We are certain, therefore, that the following information is history:

The City of Philadelphia is helping renters stay in their homes. One way is by offering emergency rental assistance to renters who have lost income due to COVID-19. Rental assistance helps landlords too.

PHDC will begin accepting applications for Phase 2 of this program on July 6, at 2:00 pm.

PHDC accepted applications for Phase 1 in mid-May. Applications are now closed. Tenants who applied can check the status of their application or ask for help.

Note:  The above descriptive information came from the program's home page.
