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).
