  • Temple I: North 16Th Street
    Temple I: North 16th Street 1700 block of North 16th Street, Philadelphia, PA The rehabilitation of 58 units of affordable housing in 22 historic brownstone buildings Located in the Lower North Philadelphia Speculative Housing District, these 22 townhomes were built between 1868 and 1875 during a period of extraordinary residential growth linked directly to the northward expansion of Philadelphia’s streetcar lines. Originally built as single-family dwellings for the middle and upper-middle class, they exhibit an exceptional and diverse collection of Victorian architectural styles and original details. You can see this in the elaborate brickwork in the facades along the 1700 block of North 16th Street, as well as in the corbelled window surrounds, glazed tile string courses, beveled brownstone sills and water tables, and elongated wood brackets in the cornice. In 1994, the 22 homes were converted into multi-family buildings through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program, yielding 58 units of affordable family housing. By April of 2006, after years of mismanagement and neglect, the buildings were deteriorated and in desperate need of major renovation. The neighborhood was riddled with crime and drug problems. At the request of the equity investor, 1260 stepped in to stabilize operations and preserve long-term affordability of the project. The restoration of this block has preserved 58 units of affordable housing for families, and is a part of a larger plan to revitalize the North Philadelphia neighborhood. 1260 refinanced the project using the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Tax Credit Exchange program to obtain a loan from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency.

With projects like the Divine Lorraine, the Metropolitan Opera House and the Beury Building, the community has a nervous excitement about this revitalization and the type of opportunities it could mean for their business, homes and families all along North Broad. The 2017 State of North Broad report provides an in-depth look at the changing landscape of North Broad Street and adjacent areas. From new to proposed development to quality of life, this reports aims to keep stakeholders connected and informed about this corridor, and what its revitalization means to them. Overall, you will see that North Broad is experiencing various highs and lows. You’ll see slight increases in statistics like population growth and income, yet the area still struggles with high unemployment and low educational attainment. Overall, our job at the North Broad Renaissance (NBR) is to take this information and data, determine how we can support the positive and mitigate the negative, and work towards inclusive growth than could positively impact the entire North Broad community – including our most vulnerable population.

  • Philadelphia, 1982–2007: Toward the Postindustrial City
    Philadelphia, 1982–2007: Toward the Postindustrial City T THE TIME OF ITS TERCENTENNIAL, Philadelphia’s outlook appeared bleak. Few people would have predicted much of a Afuture for the city. By almost every measure, the 1970s had been a disaster. In that single decade the population dropped 260,000. The employment base seemed to be collapsing, as manufacturing jobs fell 40 percent. The resulting erosion of the tax base left the city with a chronic fiscal crisis. In 1976 alone, local property taxes rose by one-third. Under the administration of Mayor Frank Rizzo (1972–80), violent crime jumped, despite his trademark swagger and tough talk. Racial animosities ran deep—in City Council chambers and in the neighborhoods. In impoverished districts, especially in lower North Philadelphia, landlords simply abandoned their properties, which became derelict fire hazards and havens for drug addicts and gangs. The schools struggled to teach amidst the social chaos. Homeless people were sleeping on the sidewalks. In January 1982, after 134 years, the Philadelphia Bulletin, long the leading newspaper, ceased publication. It was an ominous sign. In the ensuing quarter century, Philadelphia—its government and business leaders, and its residents and workers—struggled to adjust to a new economic reality, but with only mixed results. On the positive side, Center City became an exciting destination, with shimmering new office towers, thousands of new residents, and droves of tourists. The economy held its own in the growth sectors of information, health, and education. The city government made progress attacking the decay of its most dis- tressed neighborhoods and, with state help, improved its schools.

  • Philadelphia Neighborhoods Map Pdf
    Philadelphia neighborhoods map pdf Continue Wikipedia's list article Unofficial Map of Philadelphia Neighborhoods Philadelphia Planning Analysis Sections Such a list contains a list of neighborhoods, districts and other locations located in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The list is organized with extensive geographical sections of the city. Although there is no official list of neighborhoods, districts and locations, this list was drawn from the sources listed in the References and External Links sections, as well as from published information from secondary sources. Common use of Philadelphia neighborhood names does not respect the official boundaries used by city police, the planning commission or other bodies. Therefore, some of the places listed here may overlap geographically, and residents do not always agree where one district ends and another begins. Philadelphia has 41 postal codes that are often used for neighborhood analysis. [1] Historically, many neighbourhoods were defined by included areas (Blockley, Roxborough), districts (Belmont, Kensington, Moyamensing, Richmond) or boroughs (Bridesburg, Frankford, Germantown, Manayunk) before being enroled in the city by the Consolidation Act of 1854. [2] Adding further complications is the fact that in some parts of Philadelphia, especially in the north, west and south-f wolf center, residents have long been more identified with the name of their part of the city than with a particular neighborhood name. Today, community development corporations, neighborhood
