More Information:
Thousands of affordable rental homes in Pennsylvania are nearing the end of their affordability restrictions, making preservation more urgent than ever. This is especially true for properties consisting of 24 units or less and are located in big cities, small towns, and rural communities across the commonwealth.
However, community leaders and housing advocates don’t always know which buildings are at risk until it’s too late. Advancing practical strategies to identify the housing at risk of losing its affordability and how to get the preservation started sooner rather than later is critical.
