Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

@PHLschools @CCPedu @FreeLibrary @PhilaParkandRec @PhilaStreets @PhillyPolice @PhillyPCHR @PhiladelphiaGov We remain committed to the City’s financial health as a whole. I am very proud that the City now holds its highest bond rating in forty years, thanks to our success in strengthening the pension fund and rebuilding our reserves. — PolitiTweet.org

@PHLschools @CCPedu @FreeLibrary @PhilaParkandRec @PhilaStreets @PhillyPolice @PhillyPCHR This #PHLBudget, we're proposing $80M to pilot two SEPTA fare programs to promote ridership: - A new zero-fare program that will serve 25,000+ residents near or below the poverty line. - Free transit program for all @PhiladelphiaGov employees. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

@PHLschools @CCPedu @FreeLibrary @PhilaParkandRec @PhilaStreets @PhillyPolice We're making new investments in the Group Violence Intervention program by allocating $1.4M in stipends to encourage participation.

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

@PHLschools @CCPedu @FreeLibrary @PhilaParkandRec @PhilaStreets @PhillyPolice Earlier this week we shared a promising evaluation of our Group Violence Intervention program, which reduced the average incidence of weekly shootings by up to 50% among participating groups. https://t.co/z0NiSQbqjG https://t.co/9jQ24OLCjO — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

@PHLschools @CCPedu @FreeLibrary @PhilaParkandRec @PhilaStreets There is no higher priority for my administration than combatting our city’s gun violence. We’ve allocated $233M to keep up the momentum as we roll out this year’s public safety and criminal justice investments. https://t.co/QmGiAiEvFN — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

@PHLschools @CCPedu @FreeLibrary @PhilaParkandRec @PhilaStreets Ensuring thriving neighborhoods also requires us to plan and invest now to prepare for a warmer and wetter climate. The FY24 budget includes $20M for the FDR Park Plan—the first park plan in Philly's history to incorporate climate change projections. https://t.co/TC8ZS4iDJJ — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

@PHLschools @CCPedu @FreeLibrary @PhilaParkandRec @PhilaStreets Our homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing efforts have reduced homelessness by 22% in the last 5 years, and family homelessness has been reduced by 42%.

@PHLschools @CCPedu @FreeLibrary @PhilaParkandRec Our continued focus on reliable city services is working. Our on-time trash pick-up is at the highest consistent rates in almost a decade. In 2022 the new street sweeping program cleaned more than 16,000 miles of streets and removed almost 800 tons of debris in high-need areas. https://t.co/SyiV9OYn1n — PolitiTweet.org

@PHLschools @CCPedu For our youngest learners, this year’s budget will create 950 new #PHLpreK seats in FY24, bringing this program’s size to 5,250 seats total.

@PHLschools @CCPedu To meet the increasing demand for this anti-poverty initiative, we will dedicate $11.6M to Catto Scholarships in FY24. We will also invest a total of more than $270M in @ccpedu over the next five years. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

@PHLschools To date, over 1,400 #CattoScholars have received tuition-free enrollment at @ccpedu, funds for basic needs, and wrap-around support services.
