The federal eviction moratorium lifts July 31.

Thousands of Pennsylvanians are at risk of losing their homes as counties across the state remain backlogged with applications for rental assistance. These are difficult systems to manage, not least because each county has its own provisions and resources.

On Thursday, Aug. 5 at 5 p.m., Charlotte Keith of Spotlight PA, Kyle Webster of Action Housing, and Michelle Dempsky of Legal Aid of Southeastern PA participated in a free panel and Q&A on everything we know about evictions and rental assistance in Pennsylvania.

A full recording of the event is available below.

BEFORE YOU GO, A QUICK REQUEST...

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I was hoping you would consider supporting Spotlight PA’s journalism.

This article and all of our journalism are available to you at no cost thanks to our supporters. We don’t believe vital investigative and public-service journalism should be hidden behind a paywall or only for those who can afford a subscription fee. Everyone deserves access to the facts.

Especially in tighter economic times, people should not be forced to choose between the essentials, and essential news.

That’s why we need your help now.

Your support enables us to continue to produce tough, unique reporting you won’t find anywhere else. And it also enables us to share that work with more than 90 newsroom partners in your community and communities across the state at no charge.

From giant corporations to predatory hedge funds, a small number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the information that reaches the public about what’s happening here. Spotlight PA is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest – not profit motives.

Our readers keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence, and accessible to everyone – whether they can afford to pay for news, or not. Will you do your part today by making a contribution?

As a special bonus, all new monthly gifts will be matched at their annual value — that’s 12x your gift!

Join thousands of your friends and neighbors by stepping up and letting us know you value quality, nonpartisan journalism that gets results for Pennsylvania. Make a gift now.

With gratitude, Christopher Baxter Editor in Chief
