Pennsylvania House Bill 1887 establishes the Safe Communities Grant Program to award grants to municipalities for improving public health and safety by installing and maintaining lighting or security cameras in high-crime areas. The bill creates the Safe Communities Grant Program Fund to manage these grants. Eligible applicants must be municipalities that have not received a grant in the previous five years. The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency administers the program, prioritizing proposals that demonstrate the greatest likelihood of reducing gun violence.
