Rep. Bradford Announces Grant Award to Laurel House!

State Rep. Matthew Bradford announced last month that Laurel House was awarded a $170,210 state grant to support our lifesaving programs and services!

“We are deeply grateful to Governor Shapiro, Representative Bradford and Senator Cappelletti for their commitment to supporting survivors and strengthening our community,” said Stacy Dougherty, executive director of Laurel House. “This funding will allow us to expand our education and prevention efforts, helping to stop violence before it starts, ensuring more individuals have access to critical resources, and building safer, healthier communities.”

The funding is awarded through the Violence Intervention and Prevention and Building Opportunities Through Out-of-School Time grant programs.
