Mission
A Commitment to Home Ownership
The Office of Penn Home Ownership Services offers eligible employees buying homes in the West Philadelphia area the opportunity to apply for financing for home purchases and renovations. The department also offers refinancing options with lending partners, home improvement grants, loans, educational workshops and a variety of other resources.
Cost Containment & Revenue Development
Since the University's commitment to home ownership began in 1965, more than 1,400 individuals and families have participated.
Innovation
In conjunction with Penn's opening of Pennovation Works, PHOS expanded its boundaries to include the area close to the site, providing additional home ownership possibilities for faculty and staff of the University and its health system and supporting the continued development of Pennovations Works.
