The PHA is the largest landlord in Pennsylvania, housing over to 89,000 tenants. President/CEO Kelvin Jeremiah has expanded the PHA Police force from 12 to 80 officers and has carried out a series of controversial actions including...

the eminent domain of 1300 properties in the Sharswood neighborhood of North Philly, the auctioning off of over 500 public housing units, the planned closure of several housing projects, including Fairhill and Bartram’s Garden, and the sale of WestPark apts to the highest bidder.

Jeremiah is a Republican and New Yorker who pays himself nearly double the federal cap for housing executives, and took over the PHA after a series of scandals and Federal indictments in 2012 that forced the resignation of former President Carl Greene. #OccupyPHA
