The Zoning Code includes two Mixed Income Housing (MIH) programs:
- Mixed Income Housing Bonus (MIHB) in Philadelphia Code Section 14-702(7)
- Mixed Income Neighborhoods Overlay (MIN) in Section 14-533.
The purpose of these programs is to produce affordable housing in areas experiencing development by leveraging private sector investments in market rate housing. Annual reports about these programs are available on the Mixed Income Housing Reports webpage.
