Show Notes
Pennsylvanias rape crisis centers face funding crisis, threatening services for survivors amidst growing demand. Despite advocates push for a budget boost, Governor Shapiros proposed budget keeps funding flat at twelve million dollars. Years of steady state funding, coupled with federal support drops and rising operating costs, have led to staff cuts and resource strain. State Representative Justin Fleming urges the General Assembly to negotiate better funding, as Pennsylvania hasnt seen a broad tax increase since 2003. Advocates remain committed to providing care, hoping for legislative action to secure the safety net for victims.
