Justin Eby spent months sounding the alarm about the stateâs $150 million rent relief program.
Ebyâs concerns began in July when the program was launched and his team at the Lancaster County Housing and Redevelopment Authority was tasked with creating a process to disburse the countyâs share of the relief funds â $2 million â to renters who had experienced job loss due to COVID-19.
It was immediately evident to Eby that the program was plagued by problems: the application process was complicated and time consuming; the requirement that renters be 30 days in arrears limited the pool of eligible renters; and the legislatively mandated monthly rent cap of $750 discouraged some landlords from participating, meaning their tenantsâ applications would be denied.
