On July 29th, Affordable Housing Centers of Pennsylvania (AHCOPA) held the grand opening of their new West Philadelphia office. The new West Philadelphia office is located at 5901 Market Street. Along with highlighting the official grand opening of the new space AHCOPA is looking to raise awareness about services while providing networking opportunities for local agencies and elected officials.
Homeownership for African American residents has declined in West Philadelphia by as much as 20% in the past 5-years. AHCOPA has been working to change that. AHCOPA, a trusted community partner and HUD-Certified, non-profit agency, has been in existence since 2009 and is looking to expand its reach in the greater Philadelphia area to address equitable and affordable home ownership.
Similar to AHCOPA’s other sites, the West Philadelphia site will provide critical housing counseling resources to keep families in their homes and help people of color and low to moderate-income families purchase a home.
