Governor Shapiro Unveils Pennsylvania’s First-Ever Housing Action Plan
12 Feb 2026
Recently, Governor Josh Shapiro announced Pennsylvania’s first-ever comprehensive Housing Action Plan, a statewide strategy to build and preserve more homes, modernize housing regulations, and break down barriers preventing people from finding stable housing.
After more than a year of engagement with Pennsylvanians from every corner of the Commonwealth, including 18 regional roundtables and nearly 2,500 survey responses from each of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties, the Governor’s Housing Action Plan focuses on five core goals: building and preserving housing stock; expanding housing opportunity; providing pathways to stabilization; modernizing housing development regulations; and improving coordination and accountability across the state government.
