Philadelphia is restoring millions of dollars to funding for parks and recreation centers, domestic violence shelters, and other programs, after it was discovered that the city's fund balance was $49 million larger than anticipated at the end of the fiscal year that ended June 30.
The Department of Parks and Recreation will receive $2.6 million for the Department of Parks; the Office of Supportive Housing will receive $3 million 100 additional domestic-abuse shelter beds.
Philadelphia City Council approved the legislation on November 29.
