Lt. Gov. Austin Davis Touts Administration's Housing Action Plan, Emphasizes Need to Increase Housing Supply to Lower Costs for Pennsylvania Families

Lt. Governor Austin Davis visited Sharpsburg as part of his statewide "Putting More Money Back in Your Pockets" tour and emphasized the need to build more homes to help bring down housing costs for Pennsylvania families.

Davis has previously visited Montgomery , Luzerne, Fayette and Carbon counties to host events focused on affordability and the Shapiro-Davis Administration's ongoing efforts to cut taxes, lower costs and grow the economy.

"When we bought our home several years ago, we put in offers on eight different houses before we had an offer accepted,"
said Davis. "That's because the housing market is out of whack, with too few homes that are available and affordable for young families like ours. We need to increase supply and build more homes, which is why the Shapiro-Davis Administration wants to create a new Critical Infrastructure Fund that would encourage the development of more housing and other infrastructure needs. It's part of our Housing Action Plan, the Commonwealth's first-ever strategic plan for housing."
