State Senate Democrats hold hearing on COVID-19’s effects on Pennsylvania housing crisis © Shutterstock At the request of state Sens. Vincent Hughes (D-Philadelphia), Art Haywood (D-Montgomery/Philadelphia), and Nikil Saval (D-Philadelphia), the Pennsylvania Democratic Policy Committee held a virtual public hearing on Wednesday to look into the effects COVID-19 has had on the existing housing crisis. “For too long, the struggles of Pennsylvanians to find housing, and to stay housed, have been rendered invisible. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated a crisis that has been generations in the making and which is endemic to a society that treats housing as a commodity rather than as a right. As legislators, we have an opportunity, right now, to listen to our constituents to make these struggles visible and to furnish legislative solutions to mitigate decades of neglect and harm,” Saval said.
