Philadelphia officials are highlighting programs aimed at helping residents buy, repair and stay in their homes as the city works toward the goals of the mayor’s $2 billion housing plan.
The H.O.M.E. plan promises to build or help restore 30,000 housing units across Philadelphia. City data show Philadelphia is a little more than halfway toward that goal.
During a briefing on Wednesday, Sept. 23, city leaders outlined assistance available to residents, ranging from home repair programs to initiatives for first-time homebuyers.
Officials also announced the upcoming One Philly Mortgage program, which is expected to offer city-backed mortgages to low- or moderate-income first-time buyers.
The city pointed residents to the One Philly Front Door website, where people can enter their information to see which homebuying or repair programs they may be eligible for.
The programs could provide help for longtime homeowners such as Alonzo Brown, a veteran who has lived on Master Street in North Philadelphia for nearly three decades.
Brown said he has watched his neighborhood change in recent years as new housing and apartments have been built.
“It’s everywhere, you know what I mean? They’re putting up new housing and expensive apartments,” Brown said.
But Brown said some of the changes that concern him most are happening inside his own home.
“I have a roof leaking now,” Brown said.
Home repairs, existing neighborhood upkeep and first-time homebuyer assistance are among the areas where the city says it has spent about $83.1 million of the $277 million approved by City Council for the H.O.M.E. program this year.
The city says it is looking to use additional funding to help people purchase their first homes.
Brown hopes he will be among the residents who benefit from the city’s housing assistance.
“I’m waiting patiently,” Brown said. “The house is going down and everything else is going up.”
The city also announced an upcoming housing fair and informational webinars where residents can ask questions about the programs.
