Hi friends!

Did you know that in 2022, in close partnership with Senator Nikil Saval, PA Stands Up won a historic investment of $125,000,000 in housing and climate funded through the American Rescue Plan with a Republican-controlled legislature?

This year a whopping 95% of Pennsylvania’s counties applied to administer funds to their residents, who showed broad support and overwhelming demand. It is not up to us to keep interest high and the needs of our communities at the forefront of decision-makers’ minds.

So whether you live in Scranton or Harrisburg, Pittsburg or Reading, join the movement to ensure every Pennsylvanian has a safe, healthier place to call home. We need your help more than ever as we prepare to ask for $300 million to continue this unique program’s growth.

We will also need more housing ambassadors to train others in our co-governance model.

Here’s how you can get involved!:

Join one of our chapter’s housing teams, share your Whole Home Repairs Story with us, or financially support our work by donating to our statewide organization.

I look forward to working with you, friend! Let’s be the change we wish to see!

Cheers!

News You Can Use: A podcast from PA Stands Up.

Welcome to episode 9 of News You Can Use. On today’s episode, host Pele IrgangLaden returns triumphantly to chat about the 2023 People’s Action Convention with attendees Matt Lo of LVSU and Dom Santiago of NEPASU. We talk about billionaires getting what they deserve (nothing), the stranglehold that Schoolhouse Rock still has over us, and how much easier it is to lobby 2 Democratic senators in PA while still maintaining a strong aura of anxiety about the future.
