PHFA has identified 387 housing and community development initiatives in all 67 counties that will share a portion of the total $73 million in PHARE funding for fiscal year 2024-25. The PHARE fund is managed by PHFA."PHARE is one of the most effective tools we have to expand access to safe, affordable housing in every corner of the Commonwealth," said Governor Josh Shapiro. "That's why we've nearly doubled our investment in this program — because it works. Local communities know what they need, and PHARE gives them the resources to meet those needs, tackle the housing crisis, and help more Pennsylvanians stay in their homes. My budget proposal this year builds on that success by raising the PHARE cap to $110 million by 2028 — so we can build more homes, repair more aging properties, and deliver real results for the people of Pennsylvania."Funding for these PHARE awards comes from two main sources
