June 13, 2024 – Today, Senator Vincent Hughes, Democratic Appropriations Chair, announced $7.3 million dollars in PHARE funding from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Authority (PHFA) for affordable housing projects in Philadelphia and Montgomery County.
“These PHARE funds are going to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals with a fundamental need- housing,” said Senator Hughes. “I’m proud to see 37 projects in the 7th district receive funding that will increase access to affordable housing in our communities. Without a home, a safe and welcoming place to lay your head at night, it’s very difficult to maintain a job, get an education, and take care of a family. When we make affordable housing a priority, we set the stage for a domino effect of opportunity and upward progress in our neighborhoods.”
