White to Serve on Human Services, Urban Affairs Committees
HARRISBURG—Rep. Martina White (R-Philadelphia) has received two critical committee assignments. She will serve on the House Human Services Committee and the Urban Affairs Committee.
“I’m especially pleased to take this seat on Urban Affairs, as we will investigate legislation to target the challenges unique to cities like Philadelphia,” White said. “We will tackle issues like blight and redevelopment, which is critical for the healthy growth of our city and some of our neighborhoods that are struggling economically.”
White has already had her first hearing as a member of the Human Services Committee. She heard testimony on the disability services system in Pennsylvania for adults with developmental and physical challenges.
“We heard from caregivers, advocates and clients about the systems in place in Pennsylvania for caring for adults with disabilities, as well as families who have children who will be transitioning to adult care,” White said. “This is a critical issue as we examine ways to better fund these necessary services and to fix the gap in receiving care from age 18 when they no longer qualify as children and 21 when they are eligible for adult care.”
