Solving Philly’s housing crisis | A Germantown Nutcracker
from Bridging Philly Hosted by Audacy
Philadelphia faces a shortage of over 64,000 affordable housing units. This week, we sit down with the city’s top housing leaders, Kelvin Jeremiah (PHA) and Dave Thomas (PHDC), to discuss solutions. They break down the "Turn the Key" program, designed to help families build generational wealth by making homeownership attainable even in gentrifying neighborhoods. The duo also discusses the Mayor's "Home Initiative," recent PHA layoffs, and the critical need for federal funding to close the gap. Plus, Shara heads to Germantown for a sneak peek at the Wissahickon Dance Academy’s unique, salsa-infused twist on the holiday classic, The Nutcracker.
