Philadelphia's $2 billion, 30,000-unit housing plan is one of the most ambitious municipal housing strategies in the country—and it began with data. In this fireside chat, Angela Brooks (Chief Housing and Urban Development Officer, City of Philadelphia), Maggie McCullough (CEO, PolicyMap), Ira Goldstein (Senior Advisor, Reinvestment Fund Policy Solutions) discuss how tract-level housing gap analysis from Moody's Analytics, PolicyMap, and Reinvestment Fund helped the City identify critical shortages in “workforce rental” housing and translate insights into actionable policy.
The conversation will explore how advanced data tools can guide investment decisions, align public and private stakeholders, and accelerate housing production where it is needed most.
