    What's Going On: Affordable Housing & the Housing Trust Fund, Main Line School Night, Life, Death & Transformation w/Candi Wuhrman
    Apr 24 2025
    🏙 Affordable Housing & the Housing Trust Fund
    In Philadelphia, developers can pay a fee instead of including affordable units in their projects—with those funds intended for the City’s Housing Trust Fund. But communities haven’t seen the housing benefits they were promised. City Councilmember Jamie Gauthier joins us to discuss a ballot question that could help make sure those developer payments actually lead to more affordable housing.
