Solutions Progress Report

Welcome to the Solutions Progress Report. The goal of this site is to provide progress updates on key issues and initiatives of Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker's administration.

How to Use the Solutions Progress Report

This report will initially focus on four Issue Areas that the mayor campaigned on: Public Safety, Clean & Green, Education and Economic Opportunity.

Each Issue Area will contain information about specific Initiatives proposed or launched by the administration. And Initiative pages will contain Update Cards based on the latest news coverage and announcements related to that Initiative.
