Rental Assistance Program for Water and Wastewater Payments Expires March 31st
Pittsburgh, PA — The Allegheny County Emergency Rental Assistance fund, part of the federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP), has been an important funding source for renters struggling to afford their rent and utility bills. This program will expire on March 31st, and the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) encourages renters and landlords of eligible renters to use these final days to apply.
Since the introduction of the program last March, PWSA has awarded grants to eligible customers totaling $390,250. These grants help our most vulnerable customers pay their water and sewer bill and reduce past due balances. The funding is available to renters on a first-come, first-serve basis and can be applied to future and past due rental and utility payments.
