West Philadelphia is getting high-rise public housing for low-income residents

PHA is trying a new approach to public housing. Instead of demolishing Westpark, one of the city’s last high-rise public housing sites, the Philadelphia Housing Authority plans to rehab it and triple the number of units. PHA started moving residents out of Westpark in preparation for redevelopment in 2022. The housing authority and its partners will construct the project in three phases — the first of which is expected to be completed by 2027. Phase 1 calls for 327 units, the exact number that were lost when PHA shut down the three towers.
