Earlier today the Prince William County Emergency Housing Assistance Program released the following statement:

The Emergency Housing Assistance Program will be provided to all eligible households who reside in Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, who have experienced financial hardship due to COVID-19, with a one-time or short-term (no more than six consecutive months payments) of emergency mortgage and utility housing assistance to “prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus.” 

Who May Qualify?

Households who have lost documentable income on or after March 1, 2020 directly related to stay-at-home orders (job loss/reduced hours); being sick or being the sole at-home caregiver for someone sick with COVID-19; required to stay home with their natural/adopted/legal guardian young children due to mandatory daycare and/or school closures, or other documentable reasons. Eligible households combined annual gross income cannot exceed 80% of the Housing and Urban Development established median income for the Metropolitan Area based upon household size through the Emergency Housing Assistance Program. These households also must have not received assistance from another Federal, State or Local agency to pay mortgage/rent or utilities due to COVID-19.

Families may visit the EHAP website or call 703-792-7538 or email EHAProgram@pwcgov.org for assistance with the application process.
