District 20 News: LIHEAP can help pay for your heating bill this winter
For families living on low incomes in Pennsylvania, financial assistance is available through LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) to help pay heating bills during the cold winter months. Approved applicants for LIHEAP receive a one-time cash grant (does not need to be repaid) that is sent directly to their utility company or fuel provider. Additional LIHEAP benefits may be available for households experiencing a heating emergency, like a broken heater or gas line that must be replaced. 11/06/2024 10:00 AM

Hello everyone, The fall season is finally here and with that comes cooler weather, the changing of the leaves, and pumpkin-flavored treats everywhere you turn. There’s one pumpkin- themed event that you won’t want to miss: East Allegheny Community Council’s 30th Annual Pumpkinfest! This year’s event will be held on Oct. 12 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Allegheny Commons East, at the corner of East Ohio Street and Cedar Avenue. There are many activities for all ages including pumpkin decorating, hayrides, crafts, and more. I especially want to thank Barbara Burns for her work in organizing this event for the past 30 years and to the EACC Board for their continual support of this event. More details can be found here: deutschtown.org/pumpkinfest. 10/08/2024 11:00 AM

District 20 News: Discussing food insecurity, need for food bank volunteers
Over 1.5 million people, including more than 436,000 children, experience food insecurity in Pennsylvania every year. With September being Hunger Action Month, now is the time to have a conversation about how we can work together to combat hunger here in Allegheny County and across the Commonwealth. One of the best things you can do as an individual to combat hunger in our region is to support the work being done by your local food bank. 09/30/2024 09:00 AM

District 1 News: Public comment sought for rental permit program
Hello everyone, Last September, City Council passed legislation to permit registration and inspection of all rental properties in the City of Pittsburgh, which includes both short and long-term rentals. This program, which will be implemented by the City’s Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections (PLI), will provide for systematic registration and inspection of residential rental properties. I’m happy to share that PLI is now accepting public comment for the Residential Housing Rental Permit Program, which ends on Sept. 30. 09/04/2024 09:00 AM

District 20 News: Kinkead: It’s time to legalize recreational cannabis
The War on Drugs has been a complete and utter failure. As addiction and overdose death rates continue to climb every year, it has become abundantly clear that criminalizing a substance does not deter its use and, in many ways, creates more problems than it solves. In 2024, it makes no sense at all to continue arresting people for possessing cannabis, perhaps the least harmful recreational drug. But in 2022, over 12,000 people were arrested in Pennsylvania for cannabis crimes. 07/29/2024 09:00 AM
