Representatives from 11 Habitat affiliates said legislators need to secure and increase funding for programs.
on Tuesday called on lawmakers at the State Capitol to invest more funding into affordable housing and home repair.
"Home prices have risen in Pennsylvania the fastest they’ve risen in the history of the Commonwealth in the last four years -- it’s gone up 40%,” said Andrew Szalay, the President & CEO of Lebanon Habitat for Humanity. Szalay said that Pennsylvania lawmakers should use homes with potential but need a little more work to be suitable homes for Pennsylvanians. Malik Davis, from Philadelphia, said he always aspired to own his own home when he graduated from college. He also told FOX43 that the process of becoming a homeowner was daunting due to the pandemic and inflation.
