"PHA is thrilled to receive the Choice Neighborhoods Planning
Grant," said PHA President and CEO Kelvin A. Jeremiah. "The
Blumberg Apartments and the neighboring North Philadelphia
community has been a neglected part of the city. PHA has made a
commitment to revitalize this community but we cannot do it alone.
With the support of HUD and the Choice Neighborhoods Planning
Grant, Mayor Michael A. Nutter, City Council President Darrell
Clarke and development partners, PHA will be able to make
significant strides to restore this part of the city and help
eliminate blight and crime and provide new career and educational
opportunities for residents."
