Reclaim Philadelphia’s Housing Taskforce has been focusing on eviction defense required by the COVID-19 crisis. However, housing inequity has been an issue long before this crisis. As we saw with the 2008 financial crisis, we must preemptively act to ensure recovery policy not only keeps people in their homes, but makes long-term high-quality housing more widely accessible. We need more than a band-aid in this moment - we need structural change including rent control and investment in public and social housing.

Join our next monthly meeting to find out what you can do to build power for housing justice with your neighbors!
