HARRISBURG, June 22 – State Rep. Steve Malagari announced today that $100,000 is being awarded to Indian Creek Foundation to support neighbors with special needs who live in Montgomery and Bucks counties. “The availability of quality affordable housing is something that helps families and the economy grow and should be within reach for everyone in every community across the commonwealth,” said Malagari, D-Montgomery. “These dollars will help hundreds of our neighbors who deal with extraordinary circumstances remain independent and homeowners.” Indian Creek Foundation operates 23 residential care homes that serve the daily needs of more than 100 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Many of these individuals also have mobility issues due to aging or physical conditions which severely limit their ability to move freely about their homes for routine activities. This public project will renovate and repair six houses to maintain appropriate living conditions for those with disabilities who desire to maintain their residence. The funding comes from the Pennsylvania Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement Fund, or PHARE, which was established to provide for the delivery of state and federal funds, as well as funds from other sources, to help create, rehabilitate and support affordable housing for all throughout Pennsylvania. More information about the PHARE program can be found on Read more
“I’m so pleased language I originally introduced in 2021 has been included in the bill that passed this week to honor former state Representative Robert W. Godshall,” Malagari said. “I am so fortunate to occupy the seat once held by Representative Godshall, and I’ve witnessed firsthand how his life of service continues to have a positive effect on the people and communities in Montgomery County.” Read more
“I was proud to cast a vote in favor of this bill that will honor an important local resident,” Malagari said. “In a life defined by service to his country and community, after serving as a medical officer during World War I, Dr. Boston founded a hospital in Lansdale –which is now known as the Jefferson Lansdale Hospital – as well as a first aid emergency squad eventually called the Volunteer Medical Service Corps, which remains active in the North Penn region."

“The importance of protecting the religious freedom of people to worship how they wish peacefully in Pennsylvania predates statehood and creation of the United States, going back to the colonial time and William Penn,” Malagari said. “Following the mass shooting that occurred in the state at a synagogue in Squirrel Hill, this grant program was created to help nonprofits and faith-based organizations improve safety and security against acts of hate and violence. Although it’s unfortunate these measures need to be taken, I’m pleased to see funds dedicated to protecting neighbors, friends and loved ones.” Read more
