|ScoopDigital, Vol. 7, No. 9
On April 8, 2026, Secretary Nancy A. Walker visited The Kintock Group, a Residential Reentry Center in Philadelphia.
-
Kintock offers support services to help individuals transition back into the community, including educational and employment assistance. During her visit, birth certificates were issued to residents, a crucial document for job applications and obtaining identification.The Pennsylvania Departments of Labor & Industry (L&I), Health (DOH), and Corrections (DOC) joined community partners at Kintock to assist individuals returning to the workforce from the justice system by providing on-the-spot birth certificates. This initiative aims to remove a significant barrier to access to work, training, housing, and successful reentry.
During the event, DOH’s Division of Vital Records issued over 30 birth certificates to residents at the Community Corrections Center, giving them access to a vital document required for job applications, enrollment in workforce programs, and securing housing and identification.
This on-the-spot initiative is part of the Shapiro Administration’s efforts to make state services more accessible and connect more Pennsylvanians to opportunities.

\"They're not serious about the exploitation of college athletes, protecting their health, safety and ability to share in the enormous profits that's being created because of their sweat and labor...There's no industry or activity in America where this much wealth is created and the people that actually create the wealth are not seeing the kind of benefits or protections they deserve.\" -- U.S. Senator Cory Booker College sports can open opportunities for student-athletes.
