The Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania 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.

In November 2014, the Southwestern Pennsylvania Housing Alliance hosted a Roundtable to jumpstart a conversation among local housing and homeless organizations that are actively engaging the private rental market as a resource for people in need of housing. Based on the success of that event, the SWPA Housing Alliance convened the Rental Housing Work Group to build new partnerships between nonprofits and property owners and to expand the use of beneficial resources such as www.pahousingsearch.com.

Join us for an update with the Housing Alliance where we will learn about a number of their projects and initiatives to expand affordable housing in our region, with a focus on the work of their Rental Housing Workgroup.

Speakers:

  • Phyllis Chamberlain, Executive Director, Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania
  • Gale Schwartz, Project Specialist, Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania
