Oxford Green Groundbreaking

Friday, May 10, 9:00am

Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia will break ground at Oxford Green, the site of 20 affordable homes at 23rd and Oxford Streets in the Sharswood neighborhood of Lower North Philadelphia.

Joining Habitat CEO Corinne O’Connell to share remarks at this groundbreaking ceremony are Council President Darrell Clarke, State Representative Donna Bullock, City of Philadelphia Director of Planning and Development Anne Fadullon, Customers Bank SVP Joe Schupp, and Sharswood Brewerytown NAC Executive Director Darnetta Arce.

We are able to begin this remarkable process thanks to funding of $3.5 million from PHA, and $750,000 in grants from Customers Bank through Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBank) of Pittsburgh’s Affordable Housing Program.

Join us as we embark on this project together to build more homes alongside Philadelphians in need of a decent place to live. To RSVP email Wendy Lambour
