Building An Affordable Future DARRELL L. CLARKE The,000 Affordable Housing Units Initiative Philadelphia is uniquely positioned to tackle our affordable housing crisis because we have what many other major cities do not: 1. Thousands of publicly owned, buildable parcels of land, plus. Access to untapped federal resources to spur development. Due to these factors, Philadelphia City Council has proposed the,000 New Affordable Housing Units Initiative, a legislative and policy response to growing demand for affordable housing in Philadelphia. The initiative envisions the construction of 1,000 affordable rental units and 1,000 workforce homeownership units affordable for moderate-income households. 1,000 Affordable Rental Units City Council proposes the use of Housing Trust Funds in conjunction with unspent federal and state housing assistance funding to accelerate the production of affordable housing units on vacant land in the public inventory through: (i) New construction or (ii) Substantial rehabilitation of existing housing units in strategically designated neighborhoods throughout the city. The proposed plan combines existing affordable housing programs of the City, the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) and Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) to leverage each more effectively and to unlock greater outside funding. 1,000 Affordable Workforce Homeownership Units City Council proposes the provide vacant land, for nominal consideration, in neighborhoods experiencing rapid increases in housing value as leverage to construct homes affordable to households whose incomes are between 80 to 10 percent of Area Median Income. Primary Goals: More effectively utilize state and federal housing funds that are allocated to the city but are not used to their maximum potential or at all; Kick-start revitalization in blighted neighborhoods by developing affordable rental units on publicly owned land; Promote and maintain sustainable mixed-income communities by developing affordable rental housing and affordable workforce homeownership units on publicly owned land in rapidly gentrifying areas; Convert publicly owned land into taxable properties, owned by a taxable entity, providing an additional annual property tax revenue stream to the city; and Create jobs, both construction and construction-related, in addition to post-construction jobs in managing and maintaining the affordable rental units. Economic and Fiscal Impacts: $851.8 million, Constructionrelated economic impact of supporting 5,07 jobs generating an aggregate of $51 million, and adding $67.5 million to the GDP; $6.6 million in revenue to the City from the economic activity generated by the construction of,000 housing units; $1.5 million in annual ongoing economic impact, supporting 15 jobs. $6.5.million in labor income, and adding an additional $11.9 million to local GDP; and $179 million in estimated value added to the property tax base, resulting from bothadditional units and positive spillover effects of eliminating blight.
