County commissioners learned Thursday that Lebanon County is slated to receive nearly $8.5 million in rental relief for residents unable to pay their housing bills due to the coronavirus pandemic.
A separate grant is also pending to assist people who normally live in congregant housing but who are currently living at a local hotel as a way to limit exposure to large groups of people during the global pandemic.
In both instances, the commissioners were told the programs have not been finalized and are in what was described as “hurry-up-and-wait” mode. One program will assist renters who can’t pay their landlords while the other is for those individuals who normally reside in congregant housing.
Prosecutors painted a nightmare scenario inside the family s Quakertown home. They said Sara Packer hated Grace and watched as Sullivan sexually assaulted and strangled her in a hot attic outside Philadelphia in July 2016, and helped hack up her body and dispose of it months later.
In a confession to police, Sullivan said he and Sara Packer plotted Grace s death. Sullivan admitted he punched and raped Grace as Sara Packer watched, bound her hands and feet with zip ties and stuffed a ball gag in her mouth.
“I got wrapped up in Jake’s fantasy,” Sara Packer said. “I didn’t think I could tell him no without losing him.”
