ALLENTOWN, PA\u2014State Senator Nikil Saval (D\u2013Philadelphia)\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Lehigh Valley Stands Up\u00a0<\/strong>will sound the alarm on the state of Pennsylvania housing on\u00a0Thursday, March 24, in Allentown at 3:30pm<\/strong>. They will be joined by residents and community leaders to call for the passage of the\u00a0Whole-Home Repairs Act<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(Senate Bill 1135).<\/p>\n

The Whole-Home Repairs Act is a bipartisan bill that establishes a one-stop shop for home repairs and weatherization while creating new, family-sustaining jobs in a growing field. With hundreds of thousands of people across the Commonwealth living in homes that are unsafe because they can\u2019t afford repairs, the Whole-Home Repairs Act would allow communities to fight housing scarcity, community displacement and instability, and blight all at once.<\/p>\n

This bill is the first of its kind in the nation, giving Pennsylvania the opportunity to be a leader in preserving affordable housing and training a workforce that can meet growing home repair and weatherization demands, right now, when residents need it most.<\/p>\n

Following the event, speakers will take questions from the media.<\/p>\n

Similar events are being held across Pennsylvania throughout the week as part of the Whole-Home Repairs Act campaign launch. Times and locations of all events, along with partner organizations, are listed at\u00a0<\/em>pasenatorsaval.com\/WholeHomeRepairs<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
