Pennsylvania received $350 million from the federal government to help homeowners who fell behind on their mortgages during the pandemic., the aid program is overwhelmed by demand and struggling to get critical information from mortgage companies, leaving thousands of people in limbo.
The maximum amount of assistance anyone can receive is $50,000. Within that, there are also caps on how much you can receive in utility assistance , property tax assistance , insurance premiums , and homeowner or condo fees .As of February 1, 2022, you can only receive each type of assistance once — so if you receive funding for your mortgage debt, for example, and then fall behind again, you won’t qualify for another round of help for that type of aid.
Wait times also depend on how quickly your mortgage company responds to the program’s requests for information and whether that process runs into any obstacles.What if I need help with my mortgage as well as other housing costs?
