Philadelphia Land Bank

The Philadelphia Land Bank is a government entity that manages vacant, abandoned, or tax-delinquent properties in Philadelphia. Its goal is to revitalize neighborhoods by returning these properties to productive use, such as housing or community spaces. The Land Bank acquires these properties, streamlines the process for developers and homeowners to purchase them, and focuses on equitable development. This helps foster community engagement and investment, ultimately aiming to improve the overall quality of life in the city. By facilitating the use of these underutilized properties, the Land Bank seeks to enhance economic opportunities and community stability.
