PHA Announces its Community Choice Registration Program

The Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) is seeking qualified Neighborhood Based Non-Profit Corporations (NBNPCs) and similar organizations to participate in a Community Choice Registration Program. (CCRP). Through CCRP, NBNPCs can: 1) register their interest in redeveloping former public housing scattered site properties for affordable rental and homeownership housing, community space, or for economic development projects that create employment opportunities for Philadelphia residents; and: 2) be selected for a specific property or properties based on proposed use, affordability levels, responsiveness to neighborhood needs and priorities, and related criteria.

The goal of the Community Choice Registration program is to enable NBNPCs to address community needs and priorities including those of underserved and/or underrepresented populations, while helping to build the capacity of these organizations to undertake their own community development activities.
