Hello Neighbors, Community Members and Friends,
|
|
This week I was honored to once again take the oath of office to serve the people of the 164th Legislative District!
|
Team Curry accomplished a lot in the 2023-24 Legislative Session, and I am beyond excited to get to work this year. The PA Black Maternal Health Caucus made great strides with one bill of the PA MOMNIBUS making it to the Governor's desk and four others passing the House. We hope to improve and adapt these bills so that the PA MOMNIBUS can keep on moving!
Additionally, you can count on me to keep up the fight for equity in education, healthcare, and more!

Fair Acres Geriatric Center Tour
|
|
Earlier today I joined my colleagues from the Delco Delegation for a tour of the Fair Acres Geriatric Center. This is the largest skilled nursing facility in Delaware County and specialize in long term care, short term rehabilitation, respite care and hospice services. They also serve as a geriatric training site for local colleges, universities and nursing schools.

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is still accepting applications for the 2024-25 season. LIHEAP is a federally funded program administered by DHS that helps qualified Pennsylvanians pay their home heating bills during the winter months. Assistance is available for both renters and homeowners. The LIHEAP application period for cash and crisis grants is open until April 4, 2025.
LIHEAP assistance is available in the form of cash or crisis grants which are distributed directly to a household’s utility company or home heating fuel provider. Individuals or households do not have to repay assistance. The minimum LIHEAP cash grant is $200, and the maximum cash grant is $1,000. Individuals and households may receive one cash grant per LIHEAP season.
Households must apply for LIHEAP each year, so if an individual was approved or denied previously, DHS encourages them to apply again for the 2024-25 season. Start your application through the link here.
