Philadelphia Chief Deputy Mayor Aren Platt confirms that money for the University City Townhomes project is not included in the 2025 budget at the present time, but that doesn't mean it won't be.
Philly councilmember concerned about affordable housing project not being included in city budgetOn average, it's a nine-month wait to get into one of the city's more than 47,000 subsidized housing units.
"I wasn't able to identify it in the five-year plan and now I'm advocating to change that reality," she said. The company had been receiving federal subsidies for the prior affordable townhomes. Those subsidies expired in 2022. "They've requested $14 million," said Gauthier. "The Kenny administration agreed to do a large portion of that... none of that money, not even what the Kenney administration committed to, is in the budget requested funds to do the project."
