Philly awards 20 grants to Kensington groups battling opioid crisis

The show is based on author Liz Moore’s bestselling novel about a beat cop’s search for a murderer and her sister in Kensington amidst the opioid crisis.

Since last May, there’s been a 57% reduction in shootings in Kensington, and police have seized 24,000 grams of fentanyl, according to city officials.

The goal is to extinguish trash fires before they get out of hand and offer a warm bed to the people responsible for starting them.
