Survivors of Homicide Victims Grant Program (SOHG)
Description
The primary purpose of the Survivors of Homicide Grant Program is to help establish and expand statewide programs for survivors of homicide victims in all parts of the State of Maryland. This grant program provides victim assistance, advocacy, support, and other coordinated justice system responses and ensures survivors of homicide victims are able to exercise their rights entitled by law.
History
As a follow up to Maryland’s repeal of the death penalty, House Bill 355 was signed into law on April 14, 2014. This law establishes a grant program within the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention, Youth, and Victim Services to address the specific needs of family members and other survivors of homicide victims whose lives have been traumatized by these violent acts.
