Ensuring people have the ability to live near quality jobs is vital to a strong and resilient economy. Challenges around the supply and affordability of housing are impacting workers across the Third District. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia hosted a series of events to examine workforce housing and advance collaborative solutions.
Pathways to Housing Affordability
Pathways to Housing Affordability was a series hosted by the Philadelphia Fed to examine housing issues and challenges in the Third District. The series brought together business and community leaders, policymakers, bankers, nonprofits, researchers, and experts in the housing and workforce development sectors to advance collaborative, community-focused solutions. All three events in the series were held in partnership with the Delaware State Housing Authority, New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, and Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency.
