Grant For Victims Of Violent Crime
KENTUCKY....
Governor Steve Beshear has announced the award of more than $5.56 million in federal grants to programs that support victims' services, including domestic violence shelters, children's advocacy centers and rape crisis centers.
The 62 awards were made through the federal Victims of Crime Act which relies on criminal fines, forfeitures and assessments instead of taxpayer dollars to support victim services. Among the awards is $107,100 to Exploited Children's Help Organization and $83,000 to Christian Appalachian.
Beshear says the grants will ensure the continuation of vital services for some of the Commonwealth's most vulnerable citizens, the victims of violent crime, by providing crisis intervention, advocacy, counseling, shelter and other assistance at a time when they need it most.
