Pennsylvania Releases First-Ever Housing Action Plan: A Statewide Roadmap Forward

Pennsylvania is taking a comprehensive, statewide approach to addressing housing challenges—treating housing as critical infrastructure for economic growth, public health, workforce stability, and strong communities.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) unveiled Pennsylvania’s first-ever Housing Action Plan, a long-term roadmap to increase housing supply, improve affordability, and stabilize housing outcomes across urban, suburban, and rural communities.

The Housing Action Plan establishes clear, outcome-oriented goals to make Pennsylvania a national leader in housing access and affordability by 2035. It reflects extensive engagement with residents, local governments, developers, housing advocates, labor partners, and community organizations from every region of the Commonwealth.
