Homeless-Related Goals of Logan Square Neighborhood-Parkway Plan

In partnership with the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, LSNA hired professional planners to prepare the Logan Square Neighborhood-Parkway Plan. The Plan articulates a shared vision for the Logan Square community based on the input of residents, businesses, institutions, and other key stakeholders. Click here for the full text of the Plan, and here for the homeless-related excerpts.

Please contact the Subcommittee at lsnahs@gmail.com to share your thoughts about homeless-related concerns in the neighborhood or to otherwise assist the Subcommittee.

We are a small group of volunteers, so please consider contributing some time — as little or as much as you can spare — to help LSNA with homeless-related concerns.
