Affordable Housing

In Josh’s own words:

“Chester County simply needs to be a place where you can buy a house and live in it for as long as you choose.”

Josh’s plan:

Expand access

Chester County residents deserve the opportunity to live here throughout whatever happens in their lives. In Josh’s first term as commissioner, the county added six additional housing projects. Josh was proud to be part of launching the Chester County Partnership to End Homelessness, as well as overseeing the creation of a citizen committee of volunteers to review proposals from the public and private sectors to fund nearly $102 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.

Invest in programs

Josh has worked to expand the county’s existing affordable housing projects and programs, including increasing Community Development and Non-profit support, so that everyone who needs assistance finding affordable housing has the resources they need to do so.

Support survivors

Josh has been a tireless advocate for survivors of domestic violence throughout his career, and continues that advocacy as commissioner, ensuring that those experiencing domestic violence at home are able to safely find a place to relocate so that a lack of resources does not keep them in an unsafe living situation.
