We know that our community members are passionate about how property valuations affect our neighborhood. If you have great ideas for addressing these issues (or even if you're already working on it), you should enter the Fair City Challenge from the Economy League for the chance to win $50,000 towards your solution! The Economy League Fair City Challenge is backing bold solutions to help revalue property in historically disinvested Philadelphia neighborhoods - while preventing displacement. The Grand Prize winner will earn a $50,000 investment. The competition includes three categories: • The Home & the Homeowner: Solutions that support low- and moderate-income homeowners in maintaining their homes while adapting to changing circumstances and needs. • The Neighborhood: Solutions that enhance neighborhoods while preventing the displacement of current residents. • The City: Policy-focused solutions that support low- and moderate-income homeowners who aim to build household and community wealth while avoiding displacement. Applications are open until Friday, April 4, 2025, 11:59pm ET. Visit economyleague.org/faircity to learn more! (fb)
