Governor Shapiro Launches Pennsylvania's First Housing Action Plan

Pennsylvania Launches Its Inaugural Housing Strategy

Pennsylvania is taking a monumental step in addressing its housing concerns with the introduction of its first-ever Housing Action Plan. Spearheaded by Governor Shapiro, this initiative seeks to provide every Pennsylvanian with access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.

The comprehensive plan emerged after Governor Shapiro's signing of Executive Order 2024-03. Prior to its unveiling, the administration dedicated more than a year to crafting a strategic approach to the state's housing challenges. "Our mission is to ensure that every resident can find a home that meets their needs," stated the Governor during the announcement.

The Housing Action Plan is designed to address various facets of housing, including affordability, safety, and stability. By integrating different sectors and resources, the plan aims to create a sustainable housing environment for all citizens.

Governor Shapiro emphasized the collaborative effort involved in the plan's development. The administration worked closely with stakeholders, experts, and community members to ensure that the strategy reflects the needs and concerns of Pennsylvanians.

The initiative also aims to address specific issues such as housing accessibility for low-income families and individuals with disabilities. By focusing on these key areas, the plan seeks to provide equitable housing opportunities across the state.
