In FY2024, SAKI awarded the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency $2.5 million to design, launch, and implement Pennsylvania's first automated statewide SAK tracking system. This initiative will take a multi-phased approach to reduce the number of unsubmitted and partially tested SAKs in the Commonwealth. Funds will also be used to provide training and technical assistance support to rape crisis programs, hospitals, law enforcement, and other key stakeholders through a subaward to Pennsylvania Coalition to Advance Respect, Pennsylvania's statewide sexual assault coalition.
For more information on the specific SAKI award for this site, see the table below.

FY2024 | $2,500,000 | Comprehensive Approach to Unsubmitted Sexual Assault Kits |
Funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative aims to create a coordinated community response that ensures just resolution to sexual assault cases. Through this program, funding is provided to support multidisciplinary community response teams engaged in the comprehensive reform of jurisdictions approaches to sexual assault cases resulting from evidence found in previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits.
