AMBRIDGE, Dec. 17 – More than $702,000 in new funding will strengthen Beaver County protections for crime survivors and at-risk youth and improve county probation and parole services, state Rep. Rob Matzie announced today.

Matzie, D-Beaver, said four separate grants awarded through the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency will ensure that there are resources available to continue those essential services.

“Beaver County has a strong network of local officials, criminal justice workers and social service professionals committed to protecting the rights of crime survivors and at-risk youth and providing successful probation and parole resources,” Matzie said. “But the programs they administer require a steady flow of resources. The new funding will ensure those supports continue.”

Matzie said the funding includes:

  • $266,977 to Beaver County Commissioners to strengthen adult probation and parole services.
  • $250,000 to The Prevention Network to support ongoing delivery of intervention, prevention, education and treatment services for at-risk youth.
  • $138,240 to Beaver County Commissioners to support programs aimed at protecting crime victims’ rights.
  • $47,000 to A Child’s Place to support services involving identification, prevention and prosecution of child abuse.
