PA's Abandoned and Blighted Property Conservatorship Act (Act 135) has been a valuable tool for repairing and remediating distressed properties. However, there have been some issues with its application, and there is room for improvement. In this article, we review the Act's usage and suggest reforms and policy changes. Our hope is to spark conversation and recommendations for change among those in community development, redevelopment, blight mitigation, and housing. Thanks to co-authors Judy Berkman and Penina Lieber! I really enjoyed working with you. #communitydevelopment #redevelopment #blightmitigation #housing #change #realestate #PABarQuarterly

#TBT Beyond individual housing units, housing authorities often play a role in broader community development efforts. We collaborate with other agencies and organizations to revitalize neighborhoods, enhance infrastructure, and promote economic development. These initiatives include creating mixed-income communities, developing new housing, and improving public spaces, all of which contribute to a more vibrant and cohesive community. Housing authorities are more than just administrators of housing programs; we are key players in shaping the quality of life within communities. Our work impacts economic stability, community development, and social equity. By ensuring affordable and safe housing, advocating for fair practices, and supporting broader community initiatives, we help build stronger, more resilient neighborhoods. Understanding and supporting the role of housing authorities is essential for fostering vibrant, inclusive communities where all residents have the opportunity to thrive. https://lnkd.in/gWPVqHWn

Successful downtowns have lots of people living in them. They are neighbourhoods unto themselves. Those who travel downtown for work or are visitors are just gravy. It's good to see Windsor investing in its downtown. There was a time when it was an attractive arts and cultural hub, until there were a few decades of bad planning and community investment decisions. It can be attractive again, however, its revitalization will not just come from increased policing, but from investing in and approving more housing so that more people can live and enjoy it. https://buff.ly/4b5uIjq
