The effects of Pennsylvania’s budget impasse continue to compound, impacting smaller programs like rape crisis centers and child services.

Counties are facing challenges in funding these essential services, prompting layoffs and service reductions.

The prolonged impasse has led to missed payments for education and health services, affecting vital programs such as emergency medical services and foster care agencies.

Nonprofits like rape crisis centers are struggling to maintain services, with some being forced to make tough decisions due to the lack of state funding.

The ongoing impasse jeopardizes critical support services for survivors, highlighting the urgency for a resolution.
