It is our vision that a home will be within reach for all Pennsylvanians.
OUR MISSION
The Housing Alliance is a statewide coalition working to provide leadership and a common voice for policies, practices, and resources to ensure that all Pennsylvanians, especially those with low incomes, have access to safe, decent and affordable homes.
We promote common-sense solutions to balance Pennsylvania’s housing market and increase the supply of safe, decent homes for low-income people.
OUR VALUES
- Thriving communities must provide families and individuals with a variety of choices in places to live.
- Parents should be able to spend time with their children and community rather than commuting to and from work.
- Businesses that have invested in our communities deserve support in creating housing policies that help them find and keep qualified workers.
- Our government leaders have an obligation to plan ahead and look at the big picture, with policies that allow the housing market to meet the needs of our economy.
- Building strong communities depends on the ability of people from different backgrounds and points of view to work together.
