The City of Philadelphia is now sponsoring BenePhilly Centers, whose counselors will help city residents figure out what benefits they’re eligible for and help them apply. The benefits include SNAP (food stamps) and health insurance, but also federal, state, and city tax credits, including the City homestead exemption. Counselors can also help with student financial aid and utilities issues.
