To afford a one-bedroom apartment in Philadelphia for someone living on a minimum wage salary, that person would need to work 97 hours a week, based on the Fair Market Rent in Philadelphia
The lack of affordable housing for families in need can have negative effects on their lives, their children and their communities
Monday's schedule of events included a ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of the house followed by some decorating for the holidaysÂ
Adding to the festivities, Panasonic donated a brand new 42" HDTV and Sports Authority contributed a $250 gift card to the family, while Frito-Lay provided refreshments
Beau Allen, Connor Barwin and MarkSanchez were all in attendance
