This may look like a housing development in suburban Philadelphia, but this is the new face of public housing in Philadelphia. This is Raymond Rosen Manor--public housing, where once five, 13-story, run-down, public housing towers once stood. This is in the Strawberry Mansion section of North Philadelphia, around 23rd and Norris.
As you drive around Philadelphia,the new face of public housing, thanks to the leadership of Carl Greene, executive director of the Philadelphia Housing Authority, can now be seen in virtually every section.
