City Council Hearings announced on Councilman Clarke’s Deeply Flawed
Inclusionary Housing Proposal
Join With Us To Tell Council
To Do The Right Thing
And Vote NO on
Clarke’s Bill.
Wednesday November 28th
at 11:00am
Room 400 City Hall
It’s
clear that Philadelphia has an Affordable Housing Crisis that endangers the
strength of our neighborhoods and the growth of our city.
Councilman Clarke’s legislation does nothing to address this crisis.
- Clarke’s legislation
will not help homeowners who cannot afford to repair their homes
- The city’s
home repair program has money to serve fewer than one in ten
homeowners who qualify
- Clarke’s legislation
will not help families losing their homes and moving into shelters
- Taxpayers
spent $31 million on shelter and services to homeless people last year –
3 times what is spent to
create permanent, affordable rental housing
- Clarke’s legislation
will not help disabled people moving unnecessarily to nursing homes
- 65,000
of the city’s disabled have “high priority housing needs” yet there are
only 2,138 subsidized and accessible units in the City
- Clarke’s legislation
will not help the vast majority of Philadelphia homeowners or renters.
- The median
income for a family of four in Philadelphia is $33,229, yet his
legislation targets people who earn up to $90,000 per year
