The Philadelphia Housing Authority, Philadelphia's public housing agency, owns and operates over 14K affordable housing units in the city, most of which are located in large affordable housing developments. About 6,100 properties owned by PHA are not in these developments, but are scattered among different neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia. Of those
