Why This Matters:<\/strong> Philadelphia stands at a critical juncture: while housing costs soar and displacement pressures mount, the city has committed to building and preserving 30,000 affordable homes in just four years, a bold and urgent goal. Yet without strategic preservation of existing affordable units, new production alone won\u2019t be enough to meet demand or protect vulnerable residents. At the same time, rising construction costs, labor shortages, and aging infrastructure demand new approaches to how affordable housing gets built. This summit brings together city leaders, developers, financiers, and community advocates to confront these intertwined challenges head-on. It\u2019s about learning what works, avoiding past mistakes, and scaling up innovations that can deliver faster, fairer housing outcomes.
