ANNOUNCING: Philly Thrive and Renters United’s joint Safe Healthy Homes Campaign!Last year, Philly Thrive campaigned for $5 Million for the Built to Last (green home repair) program in the city budget!! We went to City Hall week after week, we shared our stories, we gathered with community and WE WON!! Philly Thrive organized for housing justice that supports low-income homeowners. But we know that housing justice includes supporting both renters and homeowners. This year we’re partnering with Renters United and advocating for home repairs for homeowners AND renters … because EVERYONE deserves a safe, healthy home. This includes $10 million for the Built to Last program and $10 million for a pilot proactive rental inspection program. |
