The task force was created to support the goals, objectives, and policies of the Landscapes2 Plan for housing and achieve implementation of the plan actions through partnership efforts between the private, public, and non-profit sectors. The Summary and Action Plan reflects the recommendations and findings of the Housing Options Task Force. Actions are presented under five goals, including education and advocacy, information, partnerships, infrastructure and regulation. Together, these actions can champion diversified housing choices in Chester County.

Housing and Transportation Options for Southern Chester County

In Landscapes2, housing access and affordably was identified as a major issue, specifically for Latino workers primarily empleyd within the mushorrom industry in the southern part of the county. In response to this and other concerns, CCPC conducted a study of the housing, transportation, and employment scenario of low-wage Latino workers and fixed-income senior citizens in the southern Chester County.
