NORRISTOWN, Dec. 16 – State Rep. Greg Scott announced today that more than $2 million in new grant funding is being awarded to 10 programs headquartered in Conshohocken, Norristown, and Plymouth Township.

The funding comes from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency and is concentrated on programs that support crisis intervention, drug and alcohol recovery, and victim advocacy and trauma support.  

“These programs already do our community a great service by providing critical resources to people in crisis due to past trauma, crime, mental health issues, or drug reliance,” Scott said. “These grants will bolster Montgomery County’s network of crisis resources by expanding and strengthening their services and broadening their reach. It is imperative that funds like these bolster such essential programs, and I’m proud to see this investment in our district.”

The following grant amounts were awarded in Legislative District 54:

  • $500,000 to Gaudenzia Addiction & Recovery Services, for their One-Stop-Shop Initiative.
  • $426,365 to the county commissioners to bolster services for crime survivors.
  • $382,284 for the Montgomery County Commissioners’ office to expand the Recovery and Reentry Supports Program.
  • $199,800 to the county commissioners to expand the Montgomery County Correctional Facility’s opioid use disorder/substance use disorder medical assisted treatment program.
  • $191,600 to Norristown Police Department’s Behavioral Response Team.
  • $181,001 to the Montgomery County Commissioners’ Firearm Suicide Prevention and Postvention Program.
  • $117,736 to the Victim Services Center of Montgomery County, to support victims of crime.
  • $99,960 to Mission Kids Child Advocacy Center, for training in EMDR therapy and operational expenses.
