Is there help for homeowners facing possible loss of their homes and foreclosure as a result of the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic?
Yes, The Pennsylvania Homeowner Assistance Fund, or PAHAF is now available to assist the homeowners.
What is PAHAF?
PAHAF, is a housing-related program funded by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to assist Pennsylvania homeowners facing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic that began after January 21, 2020. These PAHAF funds will be used to provide eligible Pennsylvania homeowners with much-needed assistance to prevent and/or ease mortgage delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures, displacement and utility disconnection.
Does PAHAF offer a grant (which is a sum of money that does not have to be paid back)?

How many months Delinquent do I need to be to get help?
If you have missed even one payment or anticipate missing a payment, it is time to talk to a professional. Know your rights and options to save you home. The earlier you take action the more likely you are to avoid foreclosure.
If counseling services are free, how does CCC get paid?
