The Pennsylvania ACT 137 Emergency Repair Assistance Program (282.4 KiB) is a state-funded program administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS). It provides emergency financial assistance to low-income households in Pennsylvania to pay for home repairs and improvements. Eligible households must meet income requirements and have an eligible need, such as roof repair, furnace repair, septic system repair, electrical repairs, plumbing repairs, and more. The program also provides assistance with the purchase of household items such as appliances, furniture, and mattresses. There are two types of assistance: one-time grants and loans. The grants are distributed to eligible applicants on a first-come, first-serve basis and can be used for repairs or items up to $5,000. The loans are available to those who are ineligible for the grant and can be used for repairs or items up to $20,000. Both types of assistance are available to those who demonstrate need and meet the income requirements.
