La senadora Santarsiero aplaude los 292.952 dólares destinados a mejoras de seguridad sin ánimo de lucro en el 10º Distrito del Senado
BUCKS COUNTY − Octubre 18, 2024 − Senator Steve Santarsiero (D-10) announced today $292,952 for security improvements at houses of worship across the 10th Senate District. The funds come from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) Non-Profit Security Grant Program.
“Freedom of religion means no one should fear for his or her safety while observing their faith,” said Senator Santarsiero. “While we all wish it wasn’t the case that houses of worship require increased security, we know in the current climate security improvements are necessary.”
The funding will benefit eight congregations across the Senator’s district, an increase from previous years, due to an additional $5 million in program funding in this year’s budget.
Santarsiero continued, “Interest in the Non-Profit Security Grant Program has far exceeded the program funding in recent years, so I am thrilled the allocation was doubled in this year’s budget, increasing the availability of these critical funds.”
El Programa de Subvenciones de Seguridad para Organizaciones sin Ánimo de Lucro administra fondos a organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro que atienden principalmente a personas, grupos o instituciones que se incluyen dentro de una categoría de motivación sesgada para incidentes únicos de delitos motivados por el odio sesgado.
