Hapco Philadelphia has been lobbying lawmakers in city hall, Harrisburg, and Congress that more money is needed to help landlords and their tenants catch up on back rent from the eviction moratorium.

Philadelphia has a nationally recognized infrastructure created for the PHL Rent Assist program, and Hapco Philadelphia urges Harrisburg lawmakers to use PA’s budget surplus to make landlords whole again!
