Governor Shapiro Highlights Budget Proposal to Expand the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program at Opening of Salem Adult Citizens Center in Montgomery County

Governor Josh Shapiro attended the ribbon-cutting for the new Salem Adult Citizens Center in Roslyn and highlighted his plan to expand the Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) program for seniors. Providing a lifeline for Pennsylvania renters and homeowners who need it most is a priority in the Governor's budget - and his commonsense proposal will help seniors across the Commonwealth stay in their homes.

In 2020, over 12,000 people in Montgomery County alone depended on these rebates. The Governor's budget proposes crucial investments to make more Pennsylvanians eligible for this critical program as they face inflation and rising costs. The proposed expansion of the program will help seniors who already depend on these rebates in every Pennsylvania county - including estimates of more than 12,000 in Montgomery, more than 12,000 in Bucks, more than 10,000 in Delaware, and more than 6,000 in Chester counties.
