Emergency Rental Assistance Program Notification

*** IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ ***

Due to limited funds for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP), Schuylkill Community Action cannot guarantee assistance will be available for all applicants. SCA will continue to process applications, following all mandated prioritization guidelines. SCA further prioritizes first-time applicants and those under threat of immediate eviction.

SCA is pausing the application process so that funds can be fairly disbursed. We will not accept new applications after August 25. SCA will notify the public if/when ERAP resumes.

ERAP processing, approval, and payment, can take time. Please be patient as we process your application. SCA will send a notification by mail stating if and when assistance is granted. Since funding is not guaranteed, it’s important to consider all other options to make rent payments, before relying on ERAP. See some resources below to help with housing stability:

PA 211 information and referral hotline- dial 211 on your mobile phone, or text your zip code to 898-211. (If you are experiencing homelessness, ask to be added to the coordinated entry list.)
