Solving Philadelphia's Affordable Housing Crisis

Co-Hosted by the Real Property and Public Interest Sections

Philadelphia’s Housing Opportunities Made Easy (H.O.M.E) Initiative is an historic and ambitious opportunity to create 13,500 new housing units and preserve 16,500 homes, for both renters and homeowners. The H.O.M.E. Initiative aims to invest in new development, fund and grow existing preservation programs, and make changes to zoning and land use law.

• Background regarding the impact of the affordable housing crisis in Philadelphia.
• Legislative details for funding new and enhanced City housing programs, such as Turn The Key homeownership development and owner-occupied repairs programs.
