Philly Preservation Project

The Philly Property Preservation Project

The first city pilot of Legacy APN — designed to help identify at-risk properties, educate communities, support preservation partners, and route property owners into the right review, resource, or professional pathway.

The Pilot

Preservation, block by block.

Identify

Identify at-risk properties at the block, corridor, neighborhood, and cluster level.

Educate

Educate communities, congregations, families, and small business owners on preservation pathways.

Support

Support preservation partners — nonprofits, CDFIs, churches, civic groups, and city partners.

Route

Route property owners into the right review, resource, or professional pathway before loss becomes permanent.
