Mission First Housing and Methodist Services held a ribbon-cutting Wednesday on a $16 million renovation of Monument Village, a 60-unit affordable housing development in West Philadelphia.

The companies said the preservation and renovation of the development at 4101 Edgely Road, for individuals and families who were formerly unhoused, is just as important as adding new housing stock.

The interior and exterior renovation included a new heating and cooling system and hot water heaters; new windows, roofs, cabinets, appliances, flooring and paint; and bathroom upgrades.
