Old City Business Collective, 35 N 3rd St, Philadelphia, PA 19106, US

HistoryLate in the 1990s, OHA experimented with a unique partnership with the Women's Community Revitalization Project, establishing the Family Resource Center at the Bancroft Court Complex. Working to help improve the lives of tenants, on-site social workers offered needs assessment and counseling in areas such as welfare to work, budgeting and life skills, and domestic abuse. The program was supported with grants from the Ford Foundation and the Temple University School of Medicine. The Octavia Hill Association has come full circle. The friendly rent collector is now the association property manager, based in a site office. Our people are hired both for their professionalism and for their genuine concern for helping motivated people build a solid credit history and live in better conditions than they could otherwise afford. Octavia Hill Association has always served the Philadelphia community, and in this current housing market, this work has rarely been more important.SpecialtiesOctavia Hill is a real estate owner and management company with roots in Center City and the Queen Village Neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA.
