SCCAP is very low on ERAP funding and can only assist with Court Ordered Evictions and Utility Shut Offs for Franklin and Adams County Residents. This funding will be expiring soon.
Due to extremely limited funding, we will be following the priorities established by the Department of Treasury to prevent evictions for those who are most at risk. Funding is prioritized for families below 50% of median income (listed below) and who have a court ordered eviction, utility shut off notice, or are literally homeless and need help with security deposit and first month’s rent.
SCCAP will not be paying any prospective rent, only arrearages tied to a court ordered eviction notices or shut off notices.
In order to process an application, we must receive all the following documents:
· The completed tenant application
· The completed landlord application (including W9)
· The last 30 days of income for all adults in the household
· A copy of the Court Ordered Eviction Notice and/or Utility Shut Off Notice.
· A copy of your signed lease
· A copy of the photo ID’s for all adults in the household matching the address on the lease.
· A completed budget and goal sheet explaining how you will afford your rent going forward.
Income must be under HUD’s 50% of Median income for 2024 listed above.
Completed applications for Franklin County can be sent to franklinrr@sccap.org or for Adams County to adamsrr@sccap.org
SCCAP has a limited amount of additional funds and this funding could end at any time.
Under no circumstances can we assist with more than 18 months of help for utilities or rent. If you have been helped and you are still in need call 211 to see if any other assistance is available.
Questions about the program or an application can be sent to franklinrr@sccap.org for Franklin County or for Adams County to adamsrr@sccap.org
To appeal any decision related to ERAP assistance, please email mshreve@sccap.org or mail to Megan Shreve, 153 N Stratton St, Gettysburg, PA 17325 within 10 days of being denied or of receiving a payment and provide the details and reasons for your appeal.
Please note: We cannot overturn denials due to being over income unless the calculations or income used were incorrect - the income guidelines are established by the funder.
For Franklin County Residents only - HAP funding
We have a limited amount of Homeless Assistance Program Funds. This program requires you to have a Notice to Quit or a Court Ordered Eviction and you must be able to show you are able to pay your rent going forward (enough income coming in to pay all of your bills going forward including your rent). This program can only assist with a maximum of $1,500 for a family with children or $1,000 for an adult only household in any 24 month period.
For HAP we need:
A copy of SS Cards and Photo IDs for all adults in the household
A copy of the last 30 days of income for everyone in the family (including child support, SSI, SSD)
A copy of the your bank statement and any cash apps
A copy of your lease (unsigned if you are requesting help with first month’s rent and/or security deposit)

Tax return if applying between January and April
Those can be emailed to franklinrr@sccap.org
