Raccoons Inside the Ceilings. A Home Falling Apart. A Block Asking for Help.

In this special edition of The Block Report, Don Bird travels to Southwest Philadelphia to investigate a growing wildlife and public safety crisis affecting two neighboring homes on Dicks Avenue. WHAT WE DOCUMENTED: – Raccoons inside the walls, ceilings, and closets of a family home – A homeowner who hears movement at 3AM as animals travel through structural cavities – A neighboring home in severe disrepair, with multiple exterior openings allowing wildlife to nest – A resident who loves animals and has tried to care for them, but is overwhelmed – A timeline of calls made to L&I, the Health Department, the Mayor’s Office, and Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson – A lack of follow-through that has allowed the situation to escalate INTERVIEWS INCLUDED: – Steffond Douglas, homeowner affected by the raccoon intrusion – The neighboring homeowner, who shares her perspective – On-site review of property damage, structural openings, and wildlife pathways THE BROADER ISSUE: This is not simply an animal control problem. This is a failure of institutional scaffolding — a breakdown in follow-up, public safety, and structural maintenance that puts entire families at risk. HOW THE BRIDGE TO LIFE FOUNDATION IS RESPONDING: The Bridge to LIFE Foundation is stepping in as a community stabilizer, helping: ✔️ The affected family secure resources ✔️ The overwhelmed neighbor get support, repairs, and wildlife guidance ✔️ Connect both parties to humane wildlife organizations ✔️ Coordinate with city agencies for immediate action ✔️ Provide structure, advocacy, and visibility WHY WE’RE REPORTING THIS: When systems fail, families suffer. When visibility increases, accountability follows. This is why The Don Bird Morning Show and The Block Report exist — to bring structure, clarity, and stabilization to communities that need it. 📩 If your block is dealing with a similar issue, contact us: blockreport@birdbrand.com 📍 Stay tuned for updates on The Don Bird Morning Show. 📌 Subscribe for more investigative community reports and civic accountability stories. #TheBlockReport #DonBirdMorningShow #BridgeToLifeFoundation #Philadelphia #SouthwestPhilly #CommunitySafety #UrbanWildlife #PublicHealth #InstitutionalAccountability #NeighborhoodNews #CivicMedia #DonBird
