  • In legal filings, the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency says its former contractor owes it more than a million dollars for breach of contract.

The article from WESA discusses a lawsuit filed by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) against its former mortgage relief program contractor, Innovative Emergency Management, Inc. (IEM). The PHFA alleges that IEM breached their contract by failing to provide adequate services to homeowners needing mortgage relief during the economic downturn caused by the global health crisis. The lawsuit claims that IEM's mismanagement led to significant delays and denials of assistance, exacerbating financial distress for many Pennsylvania homeowners.
