About the Philadelphia Housing Trust Fund


The Philadelphia Housing Trust Fund will provide nearly $15 million per year in new resources for housing. The Trust Fund's primary mission will be to support housing production - both rehabilitation and new construction - by non-profit community development organizations, including partnerships with for-profit developers. The Trust Fund will allow Philadelphia to build and rehab about 275 homes each year, increasing housing production by roughly 60 percent, and will leverage up to $36 million annually in outside public and private resources that would not otherwise come to Philadelphia.

The Trust Fund will also support housing preservation, including basic systems repair and targeted efforts around existing or new developments or in specific neighborhoods. More than 900 homeowners will be aided each year. Additionally, the Trust Fund will support emergency grants to prevent homelessness and adaptive modification grants.
