The change also allows the county to recover costs associated with emergency housing assistance, helping protect taxpayers while ensuring residents receive the support they need during a crisis.
Safe housing is not a luxury, when renting it is a requirement of the landlord. I was happy to see the Allegheny County Council pass an update to Article VI of the Public Health Code and honored to be invited to its signing.
Thank you to former Councilwoman Linda Book of Whitehall and Commander Charles Gross of the Legion for their efforts in putting on these programs. (4/4)
Throughout the day yesterday, my staff and I attended Whitehall's Veterans Day Ceremony and Dravosburg American Legion's Veterans Day program, as we recognized the men and women who have served our nation's Armed Forces. (1/4)
It also reaffirms our commitment to advocating for and supporting our Veterans not just on Veteran’s Day, but everyday, as we acknowledge their sacrifice, dedication, and commitment to our country. (3/4)
These enhancements create new opportunities for recreation, education, and outdoor enjoyment while making the space more welcoming and accessible for everyone.
Congratulations and thank you to everyone who helped bring this vision to life!
This first phase brings several new amenities for residents and visitors to enjoy, including an entrance plaza, covered picnic area, bike racks and repair station, a welcome kiosk, observation deck with binocular viewers, interpretive signage, bird's nest seating, and a trail.
In observance of Veterans Day, our office will be closed tomorrow. We honor and thank all veterans for their service, sacrifice, and dedication to our country. Our office will resume normal business hours Thursday November 12th.

Yesterday, I joined Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato and colleagues from our caucus to address the concerns we've been hearing from constituents for months about the Trump administration's changes to Medicaid under H.R. 1, which take effect in January. (1/4)
Medicaid is a lifeline for our most vulnerable neighbors which is why we gathered yesterday with all our partners to make sure we are working on safety nets at every level of Pennsylvanian government to mend the cracks these changes will cause. (3/4)
