SOUTHWEST RENEWAL INITIATIVE
PHDC has entered into a unique partnership, initiated by Anna C. Verna, President of City Council, to revitalize a portion of Southwest Philadelphia with a high degree of housing abandonment. Along with Presbyterian Homes and Services and the Board of City Trusts, PHDC will participate in a combined effort to rehabilitate approximately 90 vacant houses in the area generally bounded by 57th Street, 60th Street, Woodland and Chester Avenues.

As part of its initial activity, PHDC will combine 18 houses on the 2000 and 2100 blocks of Cecil Street into 11 rehabilitated homes. Fourteen of the original properties will be structurally integrated into “double-wide” units to produce seven homes with significantly more spacious living areas.

PHDC will act as developer by preparing the architectural plans in-house, administering the bid process and inspecting the work performed by a general contractor.

Funding for this estimated $1.2-million development is anticipated to come from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority and Citizens Bank.
