HARRISBURG, PA – December 10, 2025 − Senator Marty Flynn announced today that the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) has approved $1,432,092 in grant funding for agencies in Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties. The funding supports the ongoing work of local organizations that respond to substance use, provide trauma-informed care, and assist victims and families who rely on services throughout the justice system. Each award strengthens a different part of the safety network that these communities depend on, allowing agencies to broaden treatment access, reinforce counseling programs, and maintain critical support for residents navigating difficult circumstances.
“These grants give our local partners the tools they need to continue work that is essential to families in our region,” Senator Flynn said. “The organizations receiving this funding deal with challenging situations every day, and this support helps them reach more people and offer care that is consistent and dependable.”
