Emergency Home Improvement Program (EHIP)

How it works

Beaver County lists an Emergency Home Improvement Program as one of the homeowner help programs funded by the county’s Community Development Program. The county’s annual action plan shows EHIP as a countywide CDBG-funded activity for owner-occupied housing.

The county does not provide a detailed public description on the help page of exactly which emergency repairs are covered, how fast funds are awarded, or whether work is paid upfront or reimbursed. The program is clearly intended for urgent housing needs, but the concrete scope is not spelled out on the public page.

What the money covers

The county’s public materials do not list specific covered items for EHIP. The annual action plan identifies it as an emergency home improvement activity for owner-occupied housing.

Amounts and matching

The FY 2025 and FY 2026 public notices show countywide allocations of $75,000 and $100,000 respectively, plus project delivery costs. The program page does not state the homeowner maximum, match requirement, or whether it is a grant or deferred loan.

How to apply

The county help page lists the contact number for the program as 724-770-2045. The county directs residents to its Community Development Program for assistance.

Timing and deadlines

The county’s annual action plan identifies EHIP as part of the annual funding cycle, but the homeowner page does not give open or close dates.
