More than $4.19 million in state grants was recently awarded to projects across the 4th Senate District to support services for vulnerable populations, green space improvements, community development planning, public safety infrastructure, workforce and higher education, and health care access. The funding was announced by state Sen. Art Haywood (D., Montgomery/Philadelphia).

The local recipients include $737,720 to Covenant House Pennsylvania, for safe haven shelter renovations; $100,000 to Why Not Prosper, for a van to provide reentry services; $11,916 to Germantown United CDC, for Pickett Plaza green space conversion; $47,305 to the Mt. Airy Business Improvement District, for the Pocket Park at Carpenter Lane; and $400,000 to Chestnut Hill Hospital Community Health, for women’s health and mammography equipment.

“These projects reflect what it looks like to govern with dignity,” Haywood said. “They support students preparing for the workforce, seniors and families accessing health care, first responders protecting our neighborhoods, and organizations meeting people where they are with care and compassion.”

The 4th Senate District includes parts of Philadelphia and Montgomery County.
