State Reps. Tina Davis, John Galloway and Perry Warren announced that the state Commission on Crime and Delinquency awarded $2.38 million in state grants to Bucks County.
“Women and children are among the most vulnerable members of our society,” Davis said. “This grant money will help our county organizations offer greater security and protection to those who need it most at a time when life on the margins is even more perilous due to the pandemic.”
The awards went to the County Adult Probation and Parole Advisory Committee – Improvement of Adult Probation Services Funds; Bucks County Improvement of Adult Probation Services; the Victims’ Services Advisory Committee – Federal STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grant Funds; Bucks County Commissioners Victims of Juvenile Offenders 2021-22; Network of Victim Assistance STOP Violence Against Women 2021; Network of Victim Assistance RASA 2021-22; Bucks County Commissioners Rights and Services Act Compliance 2021-22; A Woman’s Place Legal and First Response Advocacy Enhanced Service; the Children’s Advocacy Center Advisory Committee – State Children’s Advocacy Center Funds; Bucks Network of Victim Assistance 2021 NCA Member CAC; and Bucks County Commissioners Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Pilot Program-year four.
“Many nonprofit organizations are hurting for funds because of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Galloway said. “I’m very glad that as we enter into a dark winter, that state funds will be supporting those organizations who provide life-saving services to Bucks County women and children.”
