The Facts

• Some 250,000 households face at least one housing problem, including lack of affordable housing or overcrowding

• In fact, the current supply of public affordable housing in Philly meets just 12 percent of the city’s actual need for housing assistance

• The neighborhoods most in need of affordable housing are located in North Philly. Here, many people spend more than 50 percent of their income just on rent.

• Other challenges included lack of access to education and jobs, both of which tend to hit certain poverty-stricken neighborhoods hardest and contribute to segregation.

• Despite consistent population growth over the past few years, Philly’s 25.4 percent poverty rate is still the highest out of all major U.S. cities.
