~ Community Action Agency of Delaware County (CAADC)
CAADC is the primary provider of emergency housing to homeless families and individuals in Delaware County. To prevent the loss of existing housing or to quickly re-house an already homeless household, qualified Delaware County residents can receive financial assistance to avoid eviction or to move into a new residence.
To apply for financial assistance, please visit the CAADC office at 1414 Meetinghouse Road, Boothwyn, PA 19061 for an assessment. Assessments are conducted Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. No appointment needed. CAADC also has COVID-related funding to help with rent and utility assistance (different funding than the ERA program listed above).
