It’s easy to take stable housing for granted—until a lost job, illness, or accident puts everything at risk. In an instant, families are forced to fight just to keep a roof overhead.

Every year, more than 14,000 households in Allegheny County face eviction. Over 70% of them earn less than $30,000 a year—living paycheck to paycheck, where even a small setback can lead to crisis.
 

Evictions are devastating. Families lose stability. Children lose months of learning. Communities lose connection. And landlords lose an average of $6,000 per case.

But here’s the thing: eviction prevention works. It protects families, preserves communities, and costs far less—under $4,000 on average—compared to the $40,000 it takes to rehouse someone after homelessness.
 

Together, we can show up early, with compassion and solutions—before a crisis becomes a courtroom. Because there but for the grace of God go any of us. RentHelpPGH exists so that one missed paycheck, one lost hour, one hard month doesn’t mean losing your home.
With your support, we can keep families housed—before crisis hits.
