Governor Shapiro is working to lower costs for Pennsylvanians so families can stay in their homes, afford rent, and keep more of their hard-earned money for themselves.
Delivered over $88 million through the Whole-Home Repairs program from the Department of Community and Economic Development to 55 counties to help low- and moderate-income homeowners and landlords repair, adapt, and weatherize their homes.
What else has Governor Shapiro proposed?
- Significantly expanding the Property Tax Rent Rebate for the first time in 15 years to help an additional 175,000 more Pennsylvanians qualify and increase the maximum rebate from $650 to $1,000 a year.
- Eliminating the state cell phone tax, saving Pennsylvanians $124 million annually.
- Investing $16 million in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to increase the minimum benefit by 52%.
