This resolution authorizes the Philadelphia Land Bank to transfer title to six city-owned parcels at 705, 709, and 713 N 35th St; 3712 and 3714 Wallace St; and 3810 Haverford Ave in the 3rd Councilmanic District for development of homeownership housing. It directs conveyance pursuant to Chapter 16-700 of The Philadelphia Code and Act 153 of 2012. The Land Bank Board determined that transferring these parcels under the Neighborhood Preservation Initiative’s Turn the Key program will expand affordable single-family ownership opportunities. The parcels are located in a targeted West Philadelphia corridor and will support new construction of owner-occupied homes. This action leverages city assets to advance neighborhood revitalization and streamline property disposal. It formalizes legal conditions for transfer and ensures compliance with Council policy. It lays the groundwork for developer engagement under program guidelines, reducing barriers to entry for prospective homeowners.
