💡 Tips for applicants
- Contact the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency early to understand their specific satellite CAC model and expectations. They can clarify what "satellite location" means in their context.
- Demonstrate clear need in your target county, including data on child abuse cases, current CAC access gaps, and community support for a satellite location.
- Show a strong partnership or fiscal relationship with an existing CAC, as satellite operations require established CAC infrastructure and expertise.
- Detail realistic plans for staffing, facility costs, and ongoing operational expenses to show financial sustainability beyond the grant period.
- Include letters of support from county child protection agencies, law enforcement, and victim advocates to demonstrate community buy-in.
⚠️ Common mistakes

Failing to show clear, data-supported need in your target county with documented case volume gaps. Proposing a satellite location without demonstrating strong partnership or coordination with an existing CAC.
