Friends Rehabilitation Program develops quality, energy-efficient, affordable housing for low and moderate income first-time buyers. We believe that homeownership is a cornerstone of community stability and growth and we are proud of our efforts throughout Philadelphia to provide that foundation.
Together with Strawberry Mansion residents, Friends Rehabilitation Program is helping to rebuild this historic neighborhood just east of Fairmount Park. Following our success on Berks Street – where 10 historically significant townhomes were recently restored – construction began in 2010 on 31st Street between Diamond and Berks streets. These new townhomes will open the door for 25 low and middle income households to become first-time homeowners. Before they move into their brand-new homes, buyers complete a thorough homeownership counseling program designed to help them build equity and safeguard their investment.
