Affordable housing is necessary for educational, civic, economic, and social empowerment in a community. In Montgomery County, PA, affordable homes are increasingly out of reach for residents of all income levels and backgrounds. The County, in collaboration with municipal and local partners, launched Homes for All to offer a framework to grow available housing opportunities for all.
