(AMBRIDGE, Pa.) New funding of $25,000 will allow The Franklin Center of Beaver County to bolster security, state Rep. Rob Matzie, D-Beaver, announced today.
Matzie said the funding to the Aliquippa facility was administered by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency through the Nonprofit Security Grant Fund.
“The Franklin Center is a place of hope for our community, where folks in need can find essential resources and opportunities,” Matzie said. “It’s essential that staff who work there and the residents they serve feel secure. This new funding will provide the additional resources to make that happen.”
Matzie said grants under the program may be used for a wide range of resources, including safety planning, training, and threat assessments; equipment and technology such as metal detectors, theft-control devices, protective lighting, surveillance equipment, emergency communications equipment, and other facility upgrades; and specially trained canines.
The Nonprofit Security Grant Fund provides funding to nonprofits that principally serve people, groups or institutions that are included within a bias motivation category for single bias hate crime incidents as identified by the FBI’s Hate Crime Statistics publication. The categories include race/ethnicity/ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender and gender identity.
More about the funding is available here: https://www.governor.pa.gov/newsroom/gov-wolf-announces-3-9-million-in-nonprofit-security-grant-fund-program-awards/.
The security grant is in addition to more than $3 million in PCCD funding announced Wednesday to strengthen Beaver County law enforcement, records management and victim services.

TCBC’s website — CornerstoneBeaver.org — contains a resources page that provides the warming center information and a list of community organizations offering meals, groceries, clothing, and other assistance.
“There’s never a safe time to be homeless, but winter poses additional risk for sickness, injury, or even death for those living outside in the elements, in cars, in tents, or in abandoned buildings,” said TCBC Executive Director Marie Timpano.
Timpano continued, “We’re grateful for the chance to collaborate with community partners to offer warming centers that will help keep those who are homeless out of harm’s way this winter. And with our 24-hour men’s emergency shelter opening in the spring, we are thrilled to confidently say that this will be the last winter without a men’s shelter in Beaver County.”
TCBC works to prevent and end homelessness in Beaver County by providing and coordinating emergency shelter, permanent housing, basic needs, and resources.
In early 2021, TCBC was selected by The Community Development Program (CDP) of Beaver County to receive funding to acquire, rehabilitate, and operate a 24-hour men’s emergency shelter on behalf of the County. Funding has since been secured to complete the rehabilitation and construction is in the final phase. The shelter doors are expected to officially open in the spring of 2023.
For more information about TCBC’s emergency and permanent housing programs as well as utilities and basic needs assistance, visit CornerstoneBeaver.org or call 724-846-6400.

Mike talked with Rachel McGreal from Al’s about their annual Christmas party and asked Rachel why she does this every year and McGreal said that it is her way of giving back to the community and supporting the people who support Al’s Corner. She told Mike that this is the third year that Al’s has had a Christmas Party and 150 kids signed up to participate which Rachel said was the most ever.
