The Housing Affordability Question – How National Models Can Help Greater Philadelphia

Independence Mall West
Oct 11, 2017 7:30am - 10:30am

Exploring private investment in underserved housing markets.

Seven years into an uneven recovery, escalating housing costs in parts of the Philadelphia area are putting financial pressure on many workers, especially those from low, moderate, and middle-income households.  Yet with scarce public sector housing subsidies and uncertain incentives, private investment remains central to maintaining housing options that are competitive and affordable for workers living in our communities and to our region’s growth.
