Pennsylvania has released its first comprehensive, data-driven Housing Action Plan, a statewide roadmap developed to boost housing supply, improve affordability and stabilize housing outcomes across urban, suburban and rural communities. The plan calls for building 450,000 new units by 2035 to close a projected shortfall of nearly 185,000 homes if construction rates are not increased, addresses rising costs that burden more than 1 million households, and targets the aging housing stock, with more than half of homes in the commonwealth over 50 years old. Shaped by nearly 2,500 survey responses and extensive regional input, the strategy centers on five goals: expanding housing production and preservation, broadening access for underserved populations, preventing evictions and homelessness, modernizing development regulations to cut costs and delays, and improving coordination and data sharing across state and local agencies.
