- In Philadelphia's East Falls, Gov. Josh Shapiro unveiled a 10-year Housing Action Plan to build 56,000 units, aiming to address housing needs across Pennsylvania.
- Citing housing costs, the plan notes more than a million Pennsylvania households spend over 30% of income on housing and warns of a shortfall of about 185,000 homes by 2035.
- The Housing Action Plan lays out five broad goals and 28 strategic initiatives, recommending expanded repair programs, tax credits, and investments in small residential developers.
- Implementing the plan will require approval from the General Assembly and cooperation from local governments, with Shapiro proposing a $1 billion Critical Infrastructure Fund backed by bond issuance.
