Governor Shapiro’s Housing Action Plan |
|
Last Thursday, Governor Josh Shapiro announced Pennsylvania’s first-ever comprehensive Housing Action Plan to address critical housing needs across the Commonwealth, outlining the current state of housing, providing projections on housing needs, and offering nearly thirty strategic initiatives to ensure that every Pennsylvanian has access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.
We all deserve a place to call home.
The price of housing here in Montgomery County is making it harder than ever for people to find affordable housing. I’m proud to fight alongside Gov. Shapiro so you can have your piece of the American Dream that’s perfect for you and your family.
The Housing Action Plan cuts red tape so more housing can be built, and existing housing can be revitalized so everyone has a chance to afford their first home. The plan puts you and your neighbors first – not the private equity firms buying up vacant properties as investments or short-term rentals. The plan helps homeowners and renters address the cost of living.
The plan is all about Main Street and Elm Street – not Wall Street – and it includes investing in infrastructure, schools, jobs, and everything else we need to keep our district a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
You can learn more about the plan here: https://www.pa.gov/governor/newsroom/2026-press-releases/governor-shapiro-unveils-pennsylvania-s-first-ever-housing-action-plan and I’ll keep you up to date about how we’re going to make sure everyone has a place to call home. |
