Emergency Rental Assistance Program

The Mercer County Department of Human Services has received funds from the U.S. Department of Treasury to provide rental relief to landlords and tenants in our community through the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). In partnership with the Mercer County Board of Social Services (MCBOSS), the Mercer County Department of Human Services, through its Office on Homeless Services, has launched this program to provide financial assistance toward unpaid rent or utility bills for renter households in Mercer County that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The application period has been extended and will be accepted until close of business on April 5, 2021. 


Guide for First-Time Homebuyers

This guide from the Chamber of Commerce serves as a step-by-step guide on how to buy a house for first-time homebuyers. It covers everything from saving for a down payment, finding a lender with a competitive interest rate, connecting with a real estate agent, and making the transition into homeownership.
