Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner announced the launch of a new program through his office’s victim’s services unit that is aimed at providing care and guidance to the families of murder victims in the immediate aftermath of losing a loved one.

The program, which is called Philadelphia CARES, is being funded through a $1 million grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency. The program largely entails coordinating available services within the city, and having people who have also lost a family member due to a homicide act as the first point of contact with the families of recent homicide victims to help them navigate those services.
