An Act amending Title 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, establishing the Residential Economic Development District Grant Program and the Residential Economic Development District Fund.

Summary

The bill creates the Residential Economic Development District Grant Program, allowing counties and municipalities within certain districts to apply for state funds to build or support major workforce housing projects. Applicants must adopt at least five pro‑housing policies and approve a housing project, and the Department of Community and Economic Development will award grants based on those criteria. The goal is to spur housing development in areas that otherwise would not attract it and to expand home ownership.
