There are no more resolutions on the Calendar for today. Are there any speeches on the part of the Minority?
Yes, Council President. The Eviction Diversion Program is set to expire this June. The bill I am introducing today along with my colleagues Councilmember Gauthier, Councilmember O'Rourke, Councilmember Landau and co-sponsored by -- let me go Isaiah Thomas, Nina Ahmad, Curtis Jones, Jim Harrity, Quetcy Lozada and Mike Driscoll joining us as co-sponsors. And we have a strong majority and growing support for making eviction diversion permanent in Philadelphia. Eviction Diversion is a program that works. At yesterday's press conference we heard from Haniah Harvey, a Black mother who was briefly homeless after the apartment she was living in was deemed unsafe by L&I. She lived in a hotel room with her son for three weeks exhausting her savings. Even after she found a new apartment and a new job at Amazon, she still had to sell her car in order to keep up with rent. She knew she needed to do everything in her power to avoid an eviction filing. For people who their record, it's next to impossible to find livable housing. And the people most impacted by eviction filings are Black mothers like Haniah Harvey. Thanks to the Eviction Diversion Program, Haniah is able to avoid an eviction filing, stay in a home with her son. And yesterday she shared that the program helped her get through the most difficult times in her life. She told us with pride that she now is able to pay her rent on time. And for Haniah and thousands of other Philadelphia families, Eviction Diversion has been a lifesaver. A crucial factor in the program's success has been rental assistance or targeted financial assistance which helped roughly 38,000 landlords recoup past due rent last year. leadership of Council President Johnson, the City contributed 60 million in rental assistance over the past two years, making it possible for thousands of landlords and renters to avoid going to court over eviction filing. The program is a national model praised by the White House and by Governor Shapiro for stabilizing neighborhoods and keeping people in their homes. And now that Philadelphia has become a leader in housing justice, we cannot go back. And in the midst of a national housing crisis, we must continue this program that is proven popular and effective at keeping families in their homes. Today I'm also introducing a resolution to recognize April as Autism Acceptance & Awareness Month in Philadelphia and to commend the work of HUNE in supporting people well as their families and loved ones. Groups like HUNE have helped to raise awareness about autism, which has led to more and early diagnosis and better health outcomes. As the Chair of the Committee on People of Disabilities, I want to thank HUNE for their important work to increase awareness and build a culture of care and support around children with autism. This April let's keep building on the progress that we've made by recognizing, embracing and supporting people with autism and their families. Thank you so much, Council President.
You're welcome. Good job. The Chair recognizes Councilmember O'Rourke.
Thank you, Council President. I'd like to start by acknowledging the presence of someone I love very dearly. I had the benefit of having my wife here on the first Council session, but today I have the benefit of having my mother and my only begotten nephew who are in the chamber here behind me. Can y'all just wave to the people? (Applause.)
My nephew is a citizen of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the other side of the mountains way up there near Erie, and my mother happens to be a resident of Scottsdale, Arizona. So I'm grateful to have them with us --
-this week and this weekend. I'd on by saying thank you to my partners and my fellow toilers when it comes to this Our Philly Neighborhoods platform, namely, Member Gauthier, Member Landau and of course the esteemed trailblazing Minority leader herself Kendra Brooks. These leaders, these sisters, these women all bring critical insight and experience to this package and it's been a wonderful learning experience really to see it all come together. And I want us to think about what's on the table here for a second. Philadelphia is a beautiful city with housing stock, however, that doesn't always age as beautifully. That's why a range of repair programs have more folks signed up to participate than actual resources to serve them. And if homeowners are dealing with they're often fighting to hold onto, I think it wouldn't be hard to say that we all know that renters are facing these struggles as well. So Councilmember Landau and I are introducing a resolution calling for a hearing into how L&I ensures that rental buildings are up to code and that landlords are actually treating their tenants with dignity that they deserve. Tenants by the way aren't just sitting around and waiting for this. They have been fighting for decades upon decades. And since I've already called out the names of some strong women, I want to name a few more as a way to talk a bit about Philly's history of tenant organizing. Let's start with Lucy Spease. The history buffs will know that resident of the old 7th Ward, the one that W.E. Du Bois himself wrote about, the one that was recently celebrated through a month's long tribute. We cherish the culture that was fostered in this space, but let's be frank. The old 7th Ward was slum lord central. Ms. Spease lived in one such slum with her three children, and tragically they died there as well. One cold December evening in 1936 their building collapsed and the Spease building perished along with a few other co-tenants. That strategy spurred authorities to take that era's idea of bold action to build public housing in the wake of the collapse, but it also spurred residents in the 7th Ward to join organizers as the Tenants League. was firmly at the vanguard of the fight for fair and safe housing, applying people power in a time when Black folks demand were supposed to be channeled through preselected "leaders." I also want to name Ms. Eden Gibson, a member of Renters United Philadelphia -(Applause.)
-who joined my colleagues and I yesterday as we announced this particular platform. Her and co-tenants are dealing with pipes that are probably older than her and as with so many Philadelphians. One day those pipes burst. This was after over 20 calls to her landlord, who basically said he'd get around to it. For Ms. Gibson and her daughter this led to intolerable visits. Which way did she turn becomes the question. To community, to organizing as part of a larger movement, one that includes today's grassroots formations like Philly Thrive, the Philadelphia Rent Control Coalition, the Philly Tenants Union and the West Oak Lane Tenants who recently called out their landlord in tandem with DSA. Given this history and this present reality, the least we can do as legislators is bring real public oversight to these patterns of lacking code enforcement. Sadly, the era of slumlords in Philly has not ended. I'm not saying all large landlords fit this mold, but it would be a lie to say that none of them do. So we do need to know how L&I recognizes bad actors and make It's the least that we can do so that folks on the outside understand what they're facing as they organize for a city that offers renters protection not precarity. I believe it's a noble thing and been glory to this body if we're able to pass it. Thank you so much for your time, Council President. Thank you.
Speeches on behalf of the Majority, the Chair recognizes Councilmember Jones.
Thank you, Mr. President. As we conclude Ramadan, as we concluded Easter, as we look forward to Passover, the one thing that I've prayed on and I've could pray for peace but you can't legislate it. And what we have realized is that if both sides don't like something, we should probably listen. And in an effort to change the world, we should begin under our feet. So I join my colleague in understanding that and hope that we can pray for both peace in Philadelphia and peace in the Middle East, but we cannot legislate it. Thank you, Mr. President.
You're welcome, Councilmember Jones. (Applause.)
The Chair recognizes Councilmember Jamie Gauthier.
Thank you, Council President. I just wanted to commend her leadership and her office's leadership in working on the Eviction Diversion Program and making it permanent. And I'm also grateful to all of our colleagues, so many of our colleagues that co-sponsored. This program was something that was borne out of crisis. It came during the pandemic when we were being inundated with calls from people who were scared that they would get evicted during the biggest global health crisis of our time. But sometimes the best ideas are borne out of crisis. And just because we're out of the crisis period doesn't mean that the Eviction Diversion Program and other good ideas that came during the pandemic shouldn't stay in place. So I'm really excited about the effort to make it permanent. to remind us about some of the good outcomes that we have seen. Prior to the pandemic, Philadelphia was the fourth highest evicting city in the entire country. As Councilmember Brooks said when we're talking about evictions, mostly we're talking about Black and Brown women, single moms getting essentially kicked out on the street and then having a black mark on their records for years and years and years. And thanks to Eviction Diversion, we have an average of 10,000 fewer evictions every single year than we did prepandemic. And I also want to encourage us to as we go through these budget negotiations make sure that rental assistance gets into the budget. Eviction diversion works best when there is rental because many times it's sort of a payment issue. When we were flushed with rental assistance, we were able to offset over 75 percent of evictions and stop filings from even happening. And it's imperative that we make sure that we still have that as a resource. And we know from the budget hearings, a lot of that money is not included in the current proposal, but I think we should be -- I want to encourage us not to be penny wise and pound foolish because we're going to pay that money one way or another. When people lose their homes, that's a draw on the mental health system or the criminal legal system. I think it contributes to violence in our communities so we're going to put the money out either way and we actually have a investment if we can help people fill the everyday gap that they have between their income and their housing expenses. So thanks to so many Councilmembers for supporting. I hope that this gets through successfully and I hope that we can replenish the rental assistance funding that helps Eviction Diversion to perform so well. Thank you.
You're welcome. Good job. The Chair recognizes Councilmember Anthony Phillips.
Thank you, Council President. Council President Johnson and colleagues, I offer today a non-privileged resolution that addresses a very important issue in the City of Philadelphia. obvious today in America than our failure to truly support and empower and resource parents and families in the educational and life outcomes of their children. It is a national crisis that transcends race, religion and social economic status. We need to know more, investigate everything, explore innovative ideas, listen to every corner and remove all barriers, whatever they may be, between success and our children, and we need to move now. We are very conscious of the fact that we are recognizing that parents are doing the best they can. And what this resolution says is that we see you and we hear you, but we also want to figure out ways in which we can do to further support you with resources and care thing to a silver bullet that exists in educational outcomes for children is parental and family engagement in the educational lives of children. Engagement is not passive. It is not just simply showing up at an every-once-in-a-while event or PTA meeting at school. Those are a start, but they are hardly enough to shape real positive gains in educational outcomes, healthy uses of social media, strong parent and guardian relationships with children or a mentally healthier child on an individual- or society-wide basis. The Annie Casey Foundation introduced an exploration of issues around parental involvement and engagement this way. If you could wave a magic wand that would improve the chances of school as well as their classmates, would you take up that challenge. Needless to say, we know that tens of thousands of parents and guardians would answer yes. We know that an overwhelming majority of teachers and educators in the City would resoundingly answer yes also. But the two most important elements, parents and teachers already aligned, it is now time for us to formalize, empower and embolden serious stakeholders to tell us what to do and to inform our work as policymakers. The two most invested parties in education are parents/guardians and teachers. Council President, our Mayor's recent declaration of a state of emergency confirmed what all of us already know and, that is, there's a great peril lurking in our city that compromises children, students, families, entire schools and our future. Gun violence last year to the tune of 3,000 incidents with 17 percent involving people under 21, social media accelerated and driven mayhem and crime, compromising mental health realties and parents and guardians at our wits' end indicate to us that it is time for us to do a comprehensive dive into solutions and steps that we can take to improve our City's compromised outcomes. That is why this resolution authorized the creation of the Parent/Guardian Engagement Task Force. It's so vital. None of us attended K to 12 with the ever-consuming specter Of social media as it exists today. What that means alone demands consideration and recommendations to the Mayor and to us. The task of parents, guardians, teachers, students, public SEPTA employees, practitioners and experts. Six months after its creation we will receive a report of actionable information that can inform our work and call greater attention to parental engagement. Council President, thank you for your leadership and activism around this issue. Colleagues, thank you for your leadership around this issue as well which we all care deeply about.
I encourage every member to support this resolution when it's called up for vote next week. Thank you.
You're welcome. The Chair recognizes Councilmember Quetcy Lozada.
Thank you, Council President. I've had the privilege of the last six weeks of welcoming some amazing scholars Sankofa Freedom Academy Charter School. I'd like to recognize Will Nestles, Samia Harper and Zaire White and also Teacher Chuck McLaughlin who are here joining us today. I'd like to say thank you to them for their time in our office for sharing their wisdom with us as young people. I wish them the best in their continued academic journey and I invite them to come back and join us as often as they --
Can they stand? Can y'all stand? Let's give them a round of applause. (Applause.)
Often times when we hear about Kensington we always hear about the negative. of all the chaos lies a beacon of hope in the community, McPherson Library. McPherson is a safe place where children are sheltered from the trauma that they experience every day. It's staffed with hardworking librarians who are there to foster their growth. At McPherson Square Library, they are more than just librarians. They are first-aid nurses, therapists, teachers and guidance counselors. Their work has made McPherson an oasis. I want to thank the McPherson Library staff for everything they do for our children every day. Joining me today as you heard earlier is Tuesday Chalmers, a librarian at McPherson. I encourage all of you to speak with her, get to know her, get to know about her work as well as some of experience every day. I'm grateful for everything they do on the ground. Their work in Kensington is not easy, but they show up every day regardless of whether they have the necessary resources to be able to provide our families with the supports that they need. And so, just want to recognize Tuesday for everything she does on a daily basis. (Applause.)
You're welcome. The Chair recognizes Councilmember Jeffrey Jay Young.
Thank you, Mr. President. Just want to talk about two quick issues. One thing I've been keeping my eye on and paying efforts by some of the largest corporations in this country to essentially use the courts to defeat what their workers have been trying to collectively come together to protect their rights. So I got to call out these companies; Amazon, Trader Joe's and Starbucks. Their workers have all agreed to unionize essentially to collectively bargain for workplace protections. However, because these companies and organizations were not successful in defeating the right to collectively bargain and organize, they have now sued to essentially say that the National Labor Relations Board is unconstitutional. So they're trying to dismantle the system that allows workers to collectively bargain. I think we should keep an that, Mr. President, because it's going to have chilling effects here locally as some of those companies are some of the largest employers in our region. And if we support workers rights to organize, we have to be vigilant and be respectful of that collective bargaining process. And so, I just want to let folks know that's something I'm paying close attention to because again if they're trying to use the courts to say that the structure of the National Labor Relations Board is unconstitutional, then they're going to continue to use the courts in other ways as well. So I think it's something I have to pay attention to locally. So bringing it back to Philadelphia's focus specifically, today at 8:00 a.m. Benjamin Franklin High School held an was found in the schools. I have a staffer who is a former teacher at Ben Franklin who understands that issue intimately who tried to intervene in this meeting on my behalf to get information to let my constituents know what's going on, but he was denied entrance into this meeting. So I'm looking forward to the upcoming budget hearing with the School District of Philadelphia and also the confirmation hearings of the School Board appointees. So I just wanted to put that on the record, Mr. President. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Young. I look forward to a very, very robust discussion. The Chair recognizes Councilmember Rue Landau.
Thank you, Council President. Today I was incredibly proud to co-introduce an extension of the Eviction Diversion Program. For those of you who know me, housing justice has been my life's work and I could not be more excited to get this legislation on the floor. If you're out there listening, say it with me, Housing Is a Human Right. (Housing Is a Human Right.)
Thank you so much to my fellow Councilmembers Brooks, Gauthier and O'Rourke for co-introduction and for all of your work and your offices' work on this legislation. Yesterday we stood together with our colleagues Councilmembers Thomas and Ahmad to speak about the importance of expanding this program which has been a gamechanger and a lifesaver for so since it was originally put in place. And today I am so proud that we have the support of 10 Councilmembers for this crucial lifeline. This initiative has proven to be a beacon of hope for countless Philadelphians facing the thread of homelessness, providing a vital safety net during times of economic uncertainty. At its core, the Eviction Diversion Program represents a compassionate and pragmatic approach to addressing housing insecurity. Here in Philadelphia it's an understatement to say we are facing a housing crisis. A quarter of Philadelphians are renters who are cost-burdened. Think about that. That's in of our neighbors. That means they need to make tough decisions every month to their heads, including whether or not to buy groceries, baby formula and even utilities like gas to keep warm. Housing insecurity is one of the biggest crises in Philadelphia and it is why I cannot be more excited to move this legislation forward. I spent a decade as a housing attorney at Community Legal Services where I fought for thousands of low-income families to remain in safe, affordable, quality and accessible housing when they were facing eviction. Later as the Director of the Fair Housing Commission, I helped craft this very legislation that created the Eviction Diversion Program alongside Councilmembers Gauthier and Brooks as well. I know firsthand how important this program has been to renters across you can hear from all of the incredible housing organizers in the City, this is well fought and won success, all of their hard work on the ground. By mandating mediation between landlords and tenants in an easy and efficient forum before resorting eviction, we provide a pathway towards resolution that prioritizes stability and fairness for all. This helps tenants remain in their homes and with a funded rental assistance TFA program, it also ensures that small mom-and-pop landlords who make up 70 percent of landlords in Philadelphia receive the rent they are owed, thereby preserving the integrity of our housing market and instead of having them sell their properties to commercial landlords often who do not live in Philadelphia. In a city where poverty high, preserving this lifeline for vulnerable residents is not just a moral imperative but also a sound economic investment in our collective future. Making the Eviction Diversion Program a permanent fixture of Philadelphia's housing policy affirms our commitment to equity, justice and compassion for all residents, especially those who are most vulnerable. Second, I was also very proud to introduce a resolution with my colleague Nic O'Rourke to take a look at ways that we can enhance and empower L&I in their inspections of rental properties and look at our code enforcement process holistically to help both landlords and tenants by ensuring that rental housing is repaired and up to code and also pointing landlords in the direction of them subsidize this, if needed. I want to thank my colleague Mike Driscoll co-sponsoring this piece as well.
As a housing attorney, I've advocated and stood by so many Philadelphians harshly affected by landlords to address this very important issue ensuring that our neighborhoods are safe. S. Congress to extend the broadband discount program and supporting my resolution around the Affordable Connectivity Program. As we learned during the pandemic, it is fundamentally important that our neighbors have access to high quality, affordable and reliable Internet. Today approximately 1 in 5 cite cost as a factor. And 43 percent of adults with household income under $30,000 do not have high speed Internet at home. S. Congress will affect over 750,000 residents. So thank you to the members of the Council who co-sponsored this resolution because this will affect our neighbors here in Philadelphia. Thank you.
Good job. As there are no more speeches, the Chair recognizes Councilmember Isaiah Thomas for a motion to adjourn.
