Getting screwed by Pa Rent Relief Program.. anyone else

[Jared McCullough]

I am just a small time compared to most. We run about 30 Units. We currently have 6 tenants going through the Pa version of the CARES Rent Relief Program. All are in some progression of application submittal or approval. 2 have already received funding for prior months but had to resubmit documentation for further funding. Most of these have drug out all summer long and many of these tenants haven't paid for most of the year. 

We are currently sitting over $20,000.00 in back rent and with the eviction order felt it was best to continue to try to pursue RRP. I call multiple times a week and get the same excuse about how they have 100's of applications and not enough people. As usual for a government ran program this is getting way out of hand. How long am I supposed to let these people live there without even knowing if they will be approved for funding or when I will get paid. There staffing issues should not be the downfall of my business as I have been waiting for months on many of these applicatoins.

Would be interested in seeing how others are fairing with these programs.
