June 24, 2025 - Harrisburg, PA
Governor Josh Shapiro joined Harrisburg native and Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Famer LeSean McCoy, local and state leaders, and community members to celebrate the ribbon cutting of JMB Gardens - a newly developed, 41-unit affordable housing community in Uptown Harrisburg that received more than $1.3 million in funding from the Commonwealth.Developed by Vice Capital, LLC, the real estate development and investment firm founded by McCoy, JMB Gardens represents a $16.7 million investment in safe, affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization. The project was made possible in part through critical support from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) and reflects the Shapiro Administration's ongoing commitment to expanding access to housing in every corner of the Commonwealth."Every Pennsylvanian deserves a safe, stable place to call home - and that's what JMB Gardens delivers for more than 40 families here in Harrisburg," said Governor Shapiro. "My Administration is making the largest investment in housing in Pennsylvania history because having an affordable place to call home is about more than just having a roof over your head - it's the foundation for opportunity for our kids, our families, and our seniors. From PHARE funding to a new statewide housing repair fund, our budget proposal builds on the progress we've made through projects like this and helps grow communities across Pennsylvania."Speaker list:Brian Hudson, former PHFA Executive DirectorGovernor Josh ShapiroSenator Patty KimRobin Wiessmann, Executive Director and CEO, PHFAHarrisburg Mayor Wanda WilliamsLeSean McCoy, Owner, Vice Capital, LLC
