How We Work

RHLS provides services through our four Practice Areas and one Special Interest Practice Area:

Practice Areas

• Development Services: RHLS focuses on improving affordable housing opportunities and community and economic development throughout Pennsylvania.

• Housing Law Project (HLP): Through HLP, RHLS provides statewide support to legal services programs that address issues of affordable housing.

• Policy Initiatives: RHLS works to overcome policy-based barriers to progress. Our experienced attorneys analyze public policy and systemic elements with the benefit of historical perspective and the advantage of a visionary eye, quickly identifying critical issues and pinpointing unmet needs.

• HEMAP Help Center: RHLS established this web site to provide support for individuals seeking assistance through the Homeowners Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program (HEMAP), a program of the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency.
