Arlene Thorpe Townhomes
About the project
The Women's Community Revitalization Project (WCRP) was established in 1986 as Philadelphia's first and only women-led community development organization. With a particular focus on low-income women and their families, WCRP strives to increase equity through the development of affordable housing, the provision of supportive services, and robust political advocacy work.
WCRP is headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, and works within the surrounding urban area.
LISC provided a $500,000 predevelopment loan to support the development of Arlene Thorpe Townhomes, a new construction project in the Grays Ferry neighborhood of South Philadelphia. The project will provide 27 units of affordable housing and will meet Enterprise Green Communities standards.
