Full speech: Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker delivers 'State of the City' address

When you add our shared goals, we're really talking about 50,000 units of housing. For Philadelphians PHA's plan, this is important to affirm. They envision 20,000 units of affordable housing for people who are at 30% of the AMI or lower. So when you add our home goal of 30,000 units with that 20,000, those are 50,000 units of housing. And we shouldn't have to leave any neighborhood behind. Thank you, Kelvin. (23:45–23:53)
