Today I discussed equitable development and my housing work on a AIA Philadelphia panel alongside AIA president Kimberly Dowdell (2024 AIA President)! I'm focused on making sure our communities grow alongside, rather than without, neighbors. This starts with community-driven design and planning.

This is a place where your district council person can help. Don’t wait, reach out.

We accomplished a lot for West and Southwest during the Winter/Spring 2024 Council Session -- including enacting my Defying Displacement package!

I look forward to spending more time in the community this summer and hitting the ground running when Council resumes in September.

Sheriff sales will resume shortly. If your property is listed and you need help, call the Save Your Home Philly Hotline or contact my office.

** Heat Health Emergency is now in effect **

City services and programs that provide relief from excessive heat and enhance care resources have been activated.

Heat kills. Be mindful of your health and check on neighbors!
