Nearly $2.3 million has been awarded in federal Violence Against Women Act grants by the state of Maryland.
Atlantic General Hospital Cooperation SAFE Victims program in Worcester County got $18-thousand in funds through the Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that Governor Larry Hogan said these funds will save lives and give many families the ability to receive treatment and support after a violence incident.
The funds will go to every part of Maryland and to agencies ranging from law enforcement agencies to non-profit organizations as well as ensuring offenders are held accountable.
