Chin\, Executive Director of the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation\, with the 2025 Leverage Award at its annual reception on June 3\, 2025.

Most recently\, he played a pivotal role in facilitating the relocation of a proposed $1.3 billion 76ers sports facility from Center City\, near Chinatown\, to South Philadelphia. Adjacent to Chinatown is the Roundhouse\, which Chin has also advocated on behalf of the community to be turned into affordable housing. He is a board member of the Mayor’s Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity and a member of the National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development. \nAlso presented\, The Linchpin Award honors the impactful work of individuals\, firms\, and organizations that support the community design process.

The CDC’s mission stems from the belief that revitalized spaces\, such as affordable housing for seniors or safe\, accessible parks\, can transform neighborhoods. By leveraging the talents of volunteer design professionals\, the CDC has played a critical role in shaping Philadelphia’s communities. \nAbout the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation (PCDC)\nFounded in 1966\, the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation (PCDC) is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to urban renewal and affordable housing development in Chinatown.
