The Philadelphia City Council approved a resolution authorizing the Philadelphia Land Bank to dispose of the property at 2201 E. Tioga Street, located in the 6th Councilmanic District, for the development of affordable rental housing. This project, amended from a mixed-use development, will consist of 51 affordable residential units, including amenities such as a lobby, community center, management office, elevator, computer lab, outdoor playground, and parking. The housing will serve residents earning up to 50% of the Area Median Income, with six units reserved for those at or below 20% of the Area Median Income.
This project supports affordable housing efforts by providing rental units to low-income residents, addressing housing needs within Philadelphia's 6th Councilmanic District. The inclusion of amenities fosters a supportive living environment for future residents.
