Chester County Commissioners Josh Maxwell, Marian Moskowitz, and Eric Roe recently partnered with Allies for Housing in Chester County to host the 4th Annual Summit on Affordable Housing. The event brought together elected officials, municipal leaders, faith-based organizations, housing advocates, and individuals with lived experience to advance the conversation on housing solutions.

Chester County Commissioners’ Chair Josh Maxwell remarked, “Addressing our affordable housing challenges can feel daunting, but when more people get involved, solutions emerge. “We need strong partnerships—among municipalities, faith-based organizations, developers, and investors—to generate creative solutions.
