Housing

If you are a Pennsylvanian facing a housing crisis, you may be eligible for an Emergency Shelter Allowance (ESA). The Department of Human Services (DHS) offers an ESA to help an individual or family who is near to or experiencing homelessness to: stop eviction from your home or the foreclosure of your house; find a long-term place to live; find a short-term place to stay. The ESA payment amount — up to $400 — depends on your situation.
