City Council advances bill to make Philly’s Eviction Diversion Program permanent

The former Church of the Assumption has sat vacant for decades, and the building structure is considered unsafe by city regulators.

The commuter benefit gives eligibility to around 22,000 city workers, but it’s unclear whether the city will be able to spend less for the same program this year.

More than 60 community groups across Philly and surrounding suburbs will plant trees April 11 to 14.
