combined with federal housing policies make

First Suburbs’ homes and rentals the only

BOPA-SEPAFSP Goal

• To work collaboratively with HUD on a project that will be

developed to address poverty concentration on a regional basis.

• The project will emphasize the challenges of first suburbs

communities and be designed to gain bi-partisan support.

• The program is intended to serve as a national model, and to

maximize its chances of success, it will take full advantage of the

groundwork laid in Southeastern PA to cultivate support from

housing authorities, local elected leaders, and bi-partisan

Congressional support.

• The goal is have this project ready to be rolled out before the end

of the year (i.e. 2013).
