Snow Removal Assistance ❄️

Call 311 to report snow-covered curb cuts or blocked sidewalks.
If additional assistance is needed, requests can also be made through the Mayor’s Office at 215-686-2181.

Snow-covered curb cuts and sidewalks create serious barriers for people with disabilities. These are not inconveniences — they are accessibility issues.

Accessibility does not pause for weather.
Curb cuts are essential infrastructure, and safe mobility matters.

Please share this information with anyone who may need assistance.

Image Description:

In the foreground, a person using a wheelchair faces a snow-blocked curb ramp, highlighting how unshoveled sidewalks create barriers to safe movement. Row homes line the street, and fresh snowfall covers the ground, emphasizing cold weather conditions. Bold text overlays the image with snowflake accents, directing residents to call 311 to report snow-covered curb cuts or blocked sidewalks and providing the Mayor’s Office phone number for additional assistance.

Healthcare is a human right!

Shout out to Dominique Howell who represented Liberty Resources Inc and Philly ADAPT while serving on a statewide panel focused on protecting healthcare access for people with disabilities. Alongside partners from across Pennsylvania, Dominique spoke out about the harmful impact of HB1 on people with disabilities and on Home and Community Based Services.

Liberty Resources staff and consumers were present and engaged, signing a Healthcare Bill of Rights and affirming what we know to be true: healthcare is a human right, not a privilege.

We are also proud of Latoya Maddox, Liberty Resources staff member and President of Disabled In Action, who also participated, sharing powerful firsthand experiences with Medicaid and Home and Community Based Services and centering real lives and real consequences in the conversation.

Another meaningful milestone to celebrate for Liberty Housing Development Corporation (LHDC).

Yesterday, LHDC officially opened Estelle B. Richman Place in West Philadelphia. This new development will be home to 31 families, including six individuals transitioned from nursing homes through Liberty Resources Inc.’s Nursing Home Transition program.

Estelle B. Richman Place represents years of persistence, collaboration, and a deep commitment to accessible, affordable housing. The project honors Estelle Richman’s enduring legacy of equity, dignity, and advocacy, while reflecting the values that guide this work every day.

Congratulations to Bianca Waliddin for her leadership, and to the entire LHDC team and partners who helped make this milestone possible.

This week brought an important and encouraging update for Liberty Resources Inc.

The City of Philadelphia has officially announced that the intercity bus terminal will return to its original location at 10th & Filbert. The facility is expected to be operational by May 1, 2026 and will be newly improved and fully accessible.

Since the terminal was abruptly relocated several years ago, Liberty Resources Inc. has worked alongside partners Transit Forward Philly and 5th Square to advocate for a safe and accessible bus terminal. This work included on-site accessibility reviews, meetings with City Council to address significant access barriers at the temporary location, and direct support for riders during extreme heat when shelter was unavailable.

IL Team Member Latoya Maddox, an integral leader in this advocacy effort, attended the ceremonial signing of the bill by Cherelle L. Parker, which authorizes the City and the Philadelphia Parking Authority to fund and operate the terminal.

This announcement represents a meaningful advocacy win for access, safety, and dignity and serves as a reminder that sustained, community-centered work leads to real change.
