Governor Wolf signed HB 2510 that appropriates the Federal funds from the CARES Act. PALA has advocated for assistance for Personal Care Homes and Assisted Living Residences that have additional financial costs to provide for the residents and staff during COVID19. PALA also advocated for the communities that provide for SSI residents. We applaud the General Assembly in providing $5million for these communities that serve SSI residents. Below is information from HB 2510 on the distribution:
