Company Profile
Company Overview
The Philadelphia Housing Development Corporation's (PHDC) is a nonprofit agency committed to servicing Philadelphia’s low- and moderate-income households. We develop new housing and rehabilitate existing homes through partnerships with community development corporations. We renovate vacant PHDC owned houses for sale to qualified buyers. We enable owners to remain living safely in their homes through our Basic Systems Repair Program. We provide both owners and tenants with energy-efficient housing through our Weatherization Assistance Program. Our Adaptive Modification Program helps physically disabled persons live more independently in their houses or apartments. We offer job opportunities to neighborhood residents via requests for proposals, contracts and joint ventures associated with our housing projects.
Capitalizing on its leadership position and in-depth experience in housing development, PHDC is able to respond to the trends and needs of a commercial business. It provides pre-purchase inspections; construction and project management; and packaging of development proposals for public and private financing services in the Philadelphia area and beyond.
PHDC is a success story! Under the forward leadership of our board of directors, we are making positive contributions towards the revitalization of Philadelphia's neighborhoods.
Our core message is one of accomplishment. The initiatives we have undertaken during the past five years provide the foundation for further growth and development within the city. Our partnerships with both for-profit and non profit organizations mean increased support and investment in targeted neighborhoods. These initiatives often leverage private capital that improves local economic conditions.
We know that homeownership is one of the best ways to empower people because it gives them a stake in their neighborhood. Through our development of affordable homes, and repair of occupied houses, we are transforming neighborhoods with more than bricks and mortar. Our mix of homebuyer income levels in the Cecil B. Moore Townhomes Development, for example, promotes a diverse and revitalized community.
We enable residents to stay committed to their community. The ensuing neighborhood stability improves physical conditions and increases property values.
PHDC is creating viable communities. Be assured that we will continue to provide effective housing programs that benefit the low- and moderate-income residents of Philadelphia.
