City of Philadelphia asks for Residents input in Fiscal Year 2024 Budget

Focus groups will take place in November and December 2022 in multiple languages

PHILADELPHIA, November 14, 2022 — To bring more Philadelphians to the table as the upcoming Fiscal Year 2024 budget is developed, the City laid out its plan to engage the public to ensure that Philadelphians have a voice regarding the allocation of limited City resources. To that end, the City will hold a series of in-person and virtual focus groups for community members in November and December 2022. The vision for the City of Philadelphia FY24 budget cycle and beyond is a budget that enables investments that provide quality government services and infrastructure while maintaining the City’s long-term fiscal health, reduces racial disparities among Philadelphians, and advances equitable outcomes for all Philadelphians.

“As we develop our plan for Fiscal Year 2024, it’s critical that we hear from Philadelphians directly about what their needs and priorities are as we work to balance investments for the immediate future while also ensuring the City’s fiscal health in the years to come,” said Mayor Jim Kenney. “To help us create the upcoming FY24 budget, we seek the thoughtful ideas and insights of our diverse residents, businesses, and City employees about what matters most to them and their community.”
