DOVER, Del., April 21, 2022 – Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) announced today that eligible Delaware renters can now receive up to 18 months of rental and utility assistance through its Delaware Housing Assistance Program (DEHAP).

Previously, the DEHAP provided 15 months of rental and utility assistance. The additional three months will give extra time for eligible Delaware renters in need to reduce the risk of eviction, housing instability, or financial insecurity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We’re proud to announce this update to the DEHAP program,” said Eugene R. Young, Jr., Director of the Delaware State Housing Authority. “While the difference of three months may seem negligible to some, we know that it makes a world of difference for Delawareans in need.”
