Why HfG matters

Home for Good makes housing better for everyone.

For Property Owners, it means:

  • Keeping homes in the family

  • Turning property into steady income

  • Appreciating the value of the property

  • Getting hands-on support to become confident, capable landlords

“People are offering me low rates on my home thinking I don’t know its value.”

For Neighborhoods, it means:

  • Locally owned rentals that are stable and community-connected

  • Preserving the identify of the neighborhood by preserving the housing stock

“Over the last decade, rents have risen more than 45%... Many Philadelphians are cost-burdened—paying more than 30% of income towards housing; some are severely cost-burdened.”

For Philadelphia, it means:

  • More safe, affordable housing options

  • Neighborhood Stabilization

  • Preventing vacant properties and disrepair

  • Aligning with public programs and housing goals

“I just purchased a home and would like to keep it in the family.”
