Budget impasse relief flows to crime victim aid groups
Harrisburg relief arrives as six month budget stalemate continues with 4.75 million distributed to victim assistance groups. About 1.4 million in federal funds goes to shelters tied to the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence, while overall shelters seek roughly 11 million in state and federal aid. Transitions shelter in Lewisburg serving Union Snyder and Northumberland counties expects a payment by Monday, aided by 200 thousand annual federal Victims of Crimes Act funding. The state releases 2.3 million in Victims of Crimes Act funds statewide, per Sheridan. Wolf says money is emergency health welfare only, delaying school and other programs until a budget is enacted.
