Why we chose Philadelphia
Philadelphia is a leader in attracting, retaining, and including immigrants, and has shown the positive economic and social impacts of being a welcoming city. Immigrants have significantly contributed to the reversal of a 60-year population decline. Philadelphia is the “City of Neighborhoods”, each with its own distinct personality and home to long-established or newly-arrived immigrant communities.
