Hello Neighbors, Community Members and Friends,

What a great week for the people of the greater Philadelphia area! I hope all of you have celebrated the Eagles huge Superbowl victory responsibly and safely!

To celebrate with all our birds fans, my office will be closed tomorrow and Presidents' Day, Monday, Feb. 17. We will reopen on Tuesday, Feb. 18 with our normal hours of 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.!

A reminder that other state-related offices like PennDOT will be closed on Presidents' Day as well.

On Tuesday, I was at the SEIU Southeast Legislative Luncheon and Retreat! Thank you to the SEIU State Council team and the Southeast Delegation for hosting an amazing and informative session on union involvement throughout our constituency in Southeast PA!

I also want to thank Peace Island for stopping by my District Office today! We took some time to discuss future programs to help people throughout the 164th Legislative District. They've helped Team Curry in the past with Thanksgiving food drives, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

Thank you for subscribing to my informational weekly e-blasts. Read on to learn more about upcoming events! Please be sure to share the information with your neighbors and friends to stay informed and sign up for our weekly E-blast at pahouse.com/Curry/emailsignup

Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program

The Property Tax/Rent Rebate program has made it easier for older friends & neighbors here in the 164th Legislative District to stay in their homes and afford groceries, medicine, and so much more.

The application period for the 2025 program has just opened, and I’m here to help find out if you’re eligible and apply for your rebate. Thanks to changes we made in 2023 more people are eligible and the rebates are bigger than ever!

Contact me to get a start on the process! While we help with this program, we'll see what other state programs and services are available for you.

Grant Opportunities

You can view a list of several grant programs that recently opened for applications, on my website.
