Bill > HB2345

This bill establishes the Domestic Violence Home Security Grant Program, which will be administered by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD). The program aims to provide grants to victims of domestic violence to improve the safety and security of their residences. Eligible applicants, defined as victims of domestic violence, can use the grants to purchase and install residential security measures such as reinforced doors, window locks, alarm systems, or security cameras, with the goal of reducing the risk of repeat victimization and enhancing safety during periods of heightened risk. The PCCD will develop an application form that requires the applicant's contact information, the requested grant amount, and the proposed use of funds, and will post this form online. Applicants must provide documentation to prove they are victims of domestic violence, which can include protection from abuse orders, police reports, or certification from a domestic violence service provider, and the PCCD may prioritize applications based on risk factors like recent separation from an abuser or the presence of children. All personally identifiable information of applicants will be kept confidential.
