About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs Pennsylvania Whole-Home Repairs Program in its Pittsburgh, PA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

Enacted as Act 3 of 2022 with a landmark $125 million ARPA appropriation, Pennsylvania's Whole-Home Repairs Program provides grants and low-interest loans to low- and moderate-income homeowners and small landlords to make critical repairs for habitability, safety, weatherization, and accessibility. Each county's housing or community development office administers the program, so eligibility and application timelines vary locally. Note: successor state funding has not been appropriated for FY2025-2026, but ARPA dollars continue flowing at the county level.

Maximum award is $50,000; typical awards are lower and based on scope of work verified by county.
