[NEWS] Major Set Back For Project HOME Has LGBTQ Housing Project On The Ropes
Saturday, July 22, 2017
From CBS Philly:
North Philadelphia Health System reached a bankruptcy deal that week that could nullify the sale of property for a LGBTQ youth housing project.
Project HOME had agreed to purchase five parcels on North 8th Street for $1.75 million.
The lot would be transformed into 30 units of affordable housing for LGBTQ Youth, but on Tuesday a bankruptcy court rejected the deal.
Now Project HOME must bid on the project, at an auction next month.
“This obviously is not the outcome we had hoped for,” said Sister Mary Scullion who runs Project HOME.
