Today, Mayor Kenney proposed continued investments to improve the efficiency, accessibility, waste processing, and safety of Philadelphia’s streets as part of the City’s FY24-29 Capital Program, FY24 Budget, and FY24-FY28 Five-Year Plan.
Guided by the Philadelphia Roadmap to Safer Communities, Philadelphia made a historic investment in reducing gun violence in fiscal year 2023, with $209 million to address urgent violence prevention needs through a multi-disciplinary approach focused on community empowerment, employment and careers, healing, prevention, and safe havens for children and youth.
