Funding will support more resilient and energy efficient housing for lower income Philadelphians St. George Athenagoras Manor, Cobbs Creek, and Inglis Gardens will receive funding Awards, made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act, will bring down energy and housing costs for seniors, working families, people with disabilities Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and John Fetterman (D-PA) and U.S. Representatives Brendan Boyle (D-PA-2) and Dwight Evans (D-PA-3) secured $15,440,000 in federal funds to improve units in three housing developments in Philadelphia: St. George Athenagoras Manor, Cobbs Creek, and Inglis Gardens. The funds come from grants and loans under the Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP) which was made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act. “Every family deserves a safe, reliable, and affordable home,” said Senator Casey. “This funding will upgrade communities to ensure safer and more resilient and energy efficient housing in Philadelphia that will bring down costs for our families, seniors, and people with disabilities. I will always fight for investments that lower costs and expand the stock of reliable, affordable housing in our Commonwealth.” “With this funding, the Biden-Harris administration is again making clear that it understands the need to invest in housing in the Commonwealth,” said Senator Fetterman. “These funds will improve utility efficiency and make housing more resilient for working families across Philadelphia. I’m proud to have helped bring these federal dollars to the commonwealth.” The Inflation Reduction Act, that I voted for, will support the Green and Resilient Retrofit Program---a truly forward-thinking initiative that modernizes buildings while prioritizes sustainability and energy efficiency,” said Congressman Boyle. “By integrating green technology and resilient infrastructure, it ensures long-term benefits for both the environment and residents. This program sets a strong example of how we can work together to create healthier, more durable communities while reducing our collective carbon footprint.” “I was proud to vote for the Biden-Harris administration’s historic investment in our environment, also known as the Inflation Reduction Act, which is delivering this more than $15 million in federal funding for more sustainable housing in Philadelphia,” said Representative Evans. The Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP), awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides grant or loan funding to support housing development projects that reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency, implement renewable energy generation, enhance indoor air quality, or improve the climate resilience of HUD-assisted multifamily properties. St. George Athenagoras Manor, an assisted living facility for seniors, will receive $7,520,000 to improve 94 housing units, Cobbs Creek will receive $6,800,000 to make improvements in 85 housing units for working families, and Inglis Gardens will receive $1,120,000 to improve 14 units for residents with disabilities. ###
