State Reps. Jim Prokopiak, D-Bucks, and Nancy Guenst, D-Montgomery, held a press conference last week to encourage support for legislation that would limit how much rent can be raised by landlords and prevent increases from significantly outpacing inflation and tenants’ income.

The rising cost of housing, coupled with a lack of availability for affordable homes, is leaving families across Pennsylvania struggling to put a roof over their heads. Rep. Jim Prokopiak hosted the House Majority Policy Committee for a roundtable discussion to identify barriers to attainable housing in Pennsylvania and ways lawmakers can help remove those barriers.

Rep. Jim Prokopiak is sworn-in as the newest state representative for the 140th legislative district.
