Temple University Invests in Philadelphia's Future Through Education and Housing
Temple University continues to deepen its roots in Philadelphia through meaningful investments in both student well-being and accessible housing — developments that directly benefit the many South Asian students and families who call Temple home.
🏫 Federal Grant to Expand Trauma-Sensitive Schools Program
Temple University received $1.5 million in federal funding to support its Philadelphia Healthy and Safe Schools program, which focuses on building trauma-sensitive environments in local schools. The funding announcement was made on April 8 and featured the participation of Representative Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania's 2nd Congressional District alongside Temple University leadership. Key figures present included the Marjorie Joy Katz Dean at the Katz School, along with the directors of both the PHASeS program and the Center for Health Justice and Bioethics. The grant is intended to expand the university's ongoing efforts to address student well-being across Philadelphia public schools. This investment reinforces Temple's commitment to the broader North Philadelphia community it serves. [2]
