PAHAF halts new applications; waitlist processed only if funds available

PAHAF is not accepting new applications; waitlisted applications will be processed only if sufficient funding exists and per imminent adverse action and submission date. Forward mortgage assistance will not cover any months after June 2025.

The PAHAF program is no longer accepting new applications.

The applications that already on the waitlist will only be processed if sufficient funding exists.

These applications will only be processed if sufficient funding exists. Eligible applications will be moved to the “Application Submitted” status for processing as warranted according to available funding and based on an imminent adverse action (IAA) and date submitted.  Based upon remaining funds being diminished and, in conjunction with current processing timelines, PAHAF will not be paying or approving forward mortgage assistance for any months past the month of June 2025 regardless of approval status.  This means that, regardless upon the date forward assistance was approved, the number of months available for assistance may be less than six months as established in the PAHAF term sheets and in no instances paid for any month after June 2025.  The program only provides assistance one time per household per assistance type.  The maximum amount of combined assistance for any household under PAHAF remains at $50,000, as do the requirements of the mortgage not being delinquent as a standalone option and the applicant’s housing payment to a monthly gross income ratio greater than 30%.

If applicants have additional questions, reach out to PAHAF at [email protected] or contact the call center at 800-342-2397.
