Too many of the @philadelphiagov’s housing programs are not serving its most vulnerable families. @phlcouncil needs to pass legislation that addresses this issue.

.@philadelphiagov needs to produce and preserve truly affordable homes.

What it calls affordable simply is not. 60% of low-income households do NOT have an affordable housing option.

Learn how this can change thanks to the NEW Housing Justice Campaign: https://t.co/5anrhNFqqL

37% of Philadelphia households were housing cost burdened in 2022. Still, affordable housing resources aren’t going to these families.

This needs to change. @phlcouncil can make it happen.

We are encouraging @phlcouncil to pass a law committing 50% of @philadelphiagov housing dollars on households earning $28,600 or less.

1/2 of renters and 1/3 of homeowners in Philadelphia are housing cost burdened, leaving little money for necessities like food and medication. @phlcouncil can change that.

Philadelphia faces a shortfall of 55,000 affordable housing units. With only 250 units produced per year, it'll take 220 years to bridge the gap.

We can't afford to wait that long! Learn how @phl_council can make change happen NOW: https://t.co/qQhJmU017k #RightToStay

Today, I joined @phillystaysput to launch their new Housing Justice Campaign!

PCAC's latest study confirms that City housing programs do not reach Philadelphians who need them the most. (1/4)

[Councilmember Jamie Gauthier @CouncilmemberJG]

ICYMI: Last week I joined @PhillyStaysPut to unveil their new Housing Justice campaign! Unless things change, it will take 220 years to meet our affordable housing need. That's time we do not have!

[Councilmember Jamie Gauthier @CouncilmemberJG]

We will never solve our housing crisis if we continue to cheat our neediest neighbors out of their fair share!

I am proud to stand with @PhillyStaysPut as we work to deploy City affordable housing resources equitably.

[PCAC @PhillyStaysPut]

Affordable housing is not a privilege, it’s a FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT.

[PCAC @PhillyStaysPut]

Today we are at City Hall to launch our Housing Justice Campaign!

[PCAC @PhillyStaysPut]

Our coalition members are sharing what this campaign means to them!
