Housing Requests: Needs and Challenges
Each year, housing/shelter are the most requested services that PA
211 receives. Consequently, housing requests have the most involved
intake process of all supports and services provided by 211. The
Commonwealth’s investments in PA 211 in Fiscal Year 2022-23 were
utilized to reduce call wait times. Through July 2023, the number of calls,
texts, chats, and clicks related to housing were on the rise, however,
August saw the first major dip in requests since pre-pandemic. This is
likely due to the expiration of federal rental assistance funds.
