Temple's Intentional Housing Program

In an attempt to distance itself from the all-too-common dichotomy of The University versus The Locals, Philly Urban Creators, a community garden and neighborhood rehabilitation group launched in 2010, has created a new program, called the Intentional Housing Program, that aims to connect university students with their neighbors in the community. "The program partners students with landlords that share a similar mindset as PUC and encourages students not to shy away from their neighborhood, but to become a part of it." [Temple University News]
