The PHFA is issuing a Request for Proposals soliciting applications from organizations for projects to improve the availability and affordability of housing across the commonwealth. Funding for this RFP is being provided through the Pennsylvania Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement (PHARE) Fund. The total PHARE funding available this year exceeds $85 million.
To date, $435 million in PHARE grant awards has leveraged more than $2.3 billion from other funding sources – delivering a nearly six-to-one ratio in total funding for housing initiatives.
PHARE applications are completed and submitted entirely online, eliminating the need for paper submissions and simplifying the process for applicants. The RFP is located on PHFA’s website. The online application is accessible on the PHARE website. This website will be open to accept applications starting Monday, Sept. 15. The deadline for application submission is 2 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20.
