A new PHFA report, Building Opportunity: PHARE funding trends and county profiles (2022-2024), highlights the success and reach of the Pennsylvania Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement (PHARE) Fund.

Individual county profiles, along with multicounty and statewide reports, can be viewed at https://www.phfa.org/housingstudy/.

Key findings include:
🔘 Between 2022 and 2024, PHARE awarded nearly $177 million which were used to create or preserve an estimated 8,268 affordable housing units.
🔘 PHARE funding helps grantees leverage additional public and private funding. The state’s $177 million investment through PHARE leveraged approximately $1.8 billion in additional funding.
🔘 PHARE is successful at targeting state funds at the highest need populations: approximately $126 million dollars of the $177 million awarded were reserved for assisting households at or below 50% Area Median Income.
🔘 The program is oversubscribed every year; requests outpace available funds by a factor of about 2.5. Over the period of the study, requests exceeded $435 million, while only $177 million was awarded.
🔘 Since the need is so large, the program often partially funds projects to stretch already limited resources. Between 2022 and 2024, PHFA could only fully fund 27% of PHARE applicants, with 51% receiving partial awards and 27% remaining unfunded.
