#GetInvolved and #JoinTheConversation!

Dear Neighbor,

I’d like to share with you the work that I’m doing in Harrisburg and locally to ensure we Thrive in the 185. Keep reading for more details, follow my social media for updates, and please contact one of my offices to find out how we can help you with state and local programs and resources. #InformationIsPower

Please note that my offices will be closed from Tuesday, Dec. 24 through Thursday, Dec. 26 in observance of the Christmas holiday. We’ll reopen to serve you on Friday, Dec. 27.

I hope that you and your family have a joyous holiday season!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our holiday parties this week at Ezekiel Baptist and Marconi Older Adult Center! It was great to celebrate with so many neighbors and to see the faces of so many kids light up when Santa arrived, and they received a gift for the holiday. I love how our community comes together for each other and especially for our children.

The Historically Disadvantaged Business Assistance Program is now open and accepting applications from established nonprofits, economic development organizations, and educational institutions to create Business Assistance Service Centers across Pennsylvania to support and empower our small, diverse businesses. The Business Assistance Service Centers will provide technical assistance and business support services to increase access to capital, promote economic empowerment, and boost the number of diverse small businesses in our communities.

Guidelines and more information can be found here.

Applications will be accepted through January 22, 2025.

I was happy to join my colleagues in the Philadelphia House Delegation and Southeast Delegation for a day of working at Sharing Excess to prepare produce and foods to support those who are in need this holiday season. We prepared almost 7,000 pounds of food for folks in Philadelphia, Delco, and the surrounding counties!

SAVE THE DATE! First Tuesday of the new year is the constitutionally obligated day for the General Assembly to meet and take their oath of office. You’ll be able to watch online beginning at noon on Tuesday, Jan. 7, so save the date and enjoy the grandeur of this exciting day!

I fought to include more folks in our community than ever before for a Property Tax/Rent Rebate and it's paying off!

The deadline to apply for your Property Tax/Rent Rebate is Dec. 31, but don’t wait! Contact my office TODAY to see if you qualify and for help applying!

If you’ve already applied, you can use the Where's My Rebate? Tool to check the status of your rebate.

Heater Hotline Update

The Heater Hotline program makes emergency repairs to heaters. This program is run by the Energy Coordinating Agency and supported by the Philadelphia Division of Housing and Community Development.

The Heater Hotline provides free emergency heater repairs for eligible households in Philadelphia. If the Heater Hotline staff determine that your heater needs to be replaced, they will forward your application to PHDC’s Basic Systems Repair Program.

To apply for heater repairs only, call the Heater Hotline at 215-568-7190.

We had a good discussion this week about what’s happening with our airports at the PHL-PNE Community Meeting in Eastwick.

This week my office helped to support the Upper Darby WIC Office in their Diaper Drive Drop Off along with other Delco elected officials. Together we're making a difference for our families, mothers and children in need in our communities.

Cash grants from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) are now available! You can receive from $200 to $1,000 based on your household size, income, and fuel type. Renters and homeowners are eligible, so click the image above to find out more eligibility guidelines and apply! Contact my office if we can help.

My office helps city officials and local organizations connect to state grants available to help them do their important work to improve our communities and the lives of residents. You can find a list of state grant programs that are currently open for application on my website. We update this list as new programs come online so check back often.

In service and in action,

Rep. Regina Young
