Need help finding housing programs?

Housing Helper from the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Planning and Development is a search tool where an individual can input their household basics, such as number of household members, owner or renter, and estimated gross income, and find relevant housing programs. In many cases, the user can even elect for the housing program to contact them directly.
All results will provide you with a name, number and/or website to begin the process. Please note: This is NOT an application. This is a search tool.
