About Dorsey Taylor Homes
A woman-led, community-centered affordable housing company.
Dorsey Taylor Homes was founded on the belief that affordable housing is more than a physical structure — it is the foundation of family stability, neighborhood health, and long-term opportunity. We combine development work with housing education so that the homes we build become homes households can keep.
Our Mission
Build lasting housing stability for families and individuals — through education first, plus affordable housing development and neighborhood revitalization.
What we believe
Housing, education, and community working together.
Community-Centered Development
We invest in Philadelphia neighborhoods by rehabilitating and developing quality affordable homes for working families.
Housing Stability Education
Through practical workshops and coaching, we help tenants build the habits and knowledge they need to stay housed long-term.
Long-Term Housing Vision
Every program and project is designed to support pathways from temporary or unstable housing toward future homeownership.
Education & Empowerment
We believe lasting change happens when families have both safe housing and the tools to manage and protect it.
