A focus of the program is to assist with housing stability and to address arrearages for rental and utility payments and possible short-term future rent. Only current tenants and landlords are eligible to apply for grants. It is subject to applicable income requirements. Landlords of evicted tenants are not permitted to apply for payment. The Federal moratorium on evictions has been extended until June 30th. The lead agency managing the program is Mercer County Housing Authority in partnership with the Shenango Valley Urban League and Community Action Partnership of Mercer County.
