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

This week I was happy to present a check for over $440,000 to the Philadelphia International Airport that will help them create safer, dedicated walkways between the terminals, offices, warehouses, and other facilities at the airport complex. Right now, employees and visitors must navigate through parking lots and dirt paths, and cross busy roads to make these trips on foot.

Together we can do great things, and I'm happy to partner with the airport to increase safety and keep our economy moving. Click the image above to check out my remarks from our presentation at the airport near where the new pathway will be located, and click the image below for more information on this grant.

This week, we joined Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon for a press conference focused on the Trump administration’s attacks on Social Security. Hardworking Pennsylvanians have been paying into this program their entire career and expect their benefits to be available when they retire. The callous and careless attacks on the network of our benefits including Social Security, healthcare, and more are outrageous – I stand in support with the congresswoman and YOU to ensure that the services you’ve paid for will be there when you need them.

Cash grants from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) are now available! The deadline to apply is extended to April 18, so don’t wait! 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 more eligibility guidelines and apply!

Contact my office if we can help.

I’m reminding eligible residents to take advantage of Pennsylvania’s Child and Dependent Care Enhancement Tax Credit before the April 15, 2025, tax filing deadline. This credit, expanded under a law passed by the General Assembly, provides financial relief to working families with child or dependent care expenses.

The credit matches 100% of the federal Child Care Tax Credit, offering a maximum of $1,050 for one child/dependent and $2,100 for two or more, with minimums of $600 and $1,200, respectively. Eligibility includes expenses for children under 13, spouses, or other dependents who are physically or mentally incapable of self-care. The credit is refundable, meaning taxpayers can receive a full refund after tax obligations.

To claim the credit, taxpayers must file a PA-40 form along with PA Schedule DC, Federal Form 2441, and 1040 Schedule 3. The Department of Revenue encourages filing through myPATH, Pennsylvania’s free online tax filing system.

You can find more information about the tax credit here or contact my office.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Save the date for my next Women in Government discussion – Monday, April 14 at 5:30 p.m. I’ll be joined by powerhouse guests, Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon and Philadelphia City Council Majority Leader Katherine Gilmore Richardson! You can watch on my Facebook page or my website.

I’m proud to represent a legislative district where over 53% of the people are women. Your government should reflect who you are, so in 2025, I’m celebrating and highlighting the women who represent our communities at all levels of government with a monthly series of meetings and events that you should plan to attend to learn more about these amazing women, their achievements, the importance of representation, and how their work impacts our families and neighborhoods.

Click the graphic above to find our previous discussions and to RSVP for the April event.

Join me at Inglis Gardens at Eastwick for a Senior Resource Meet & Greet on Wednesday, April 16 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. My staff and I will be available to connect you with information and resources to improve your quality-of-life! We look forward to meeting you!

During our first Women in Government event, we talked a lot about the actions that are happening right now with the federal government in Washington, D.C. It has been very overwhelming with what seems like daily attacks on our neighbors, our freedoms and basic rights. Just remember that there are always people to help. If you are concerned about the actions being taken on immigration, I encourage you to contact these local organizations listed in this document. Additionally, while my office is here to assist you with state and local services, your concerns on these federal actions need to be heard by your federal officials. Check out the list of our congressional and senatorial officials and contact their offices for assistance or to let them know about your concerns. We’ve seen recently how advocacy and loud objections can lead to a course reversal or reevaluation by the president and his administration.

Don’t give up and don’t give in.

Know your rights and stay vigilant for your family and your community.

My office joined Philadelphia D.A. Larry Krasner, City Council President Kenyatta Johnson, officers of the Philadelphia Police Dept., and so many neighbors in the Southwest as we led a Peace Walk through the blocks surrounding 70^th and Elmwood.

We had a busy week visiting our Mobile Office Sites at Marconi Older Adult Center, St. Edmonds Senior Center, Eastwick Library, and more!

The Property Tax/Rent Rebate program has made it easier for older friends and neighbors to stay in their homes and afford groceries, medicine, and so much more.

The application period for the 2025 program has just opened to get a rebate on your 2024 taxes or rent paid. Thanks to changes House Democrats fought for, more people are eligible, and the rebates are bigger than ever!

Give us a call, send an email, or stop by one of my offices to find out if you’re eligible. We can even help you apply.

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
