The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service awarded the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin a $150,000 cooperative agreement effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2030 to implement the Ho-Chunk Nation Injury Prevention Program under the Injury Prevention Program for American Indians and Alaskan Natives (CFDA 93.284).

The HCN-IPP reduces unintentional injuries and fatalities across the American Indian and Alaskan Native community within a 15-county service area in Wisconsin through culturally grounded, data-driven, and community-based strategies delivered in three phases. The program empowers community members with knowledge, resources, and skills to prevent injuries, promote safety, and enhance health and well-being. Work is performed in Wisconsin. The cooperative agreement is subject to year-to-year renewal and requires continuation applications for multi-year funding; final approval rests with Indian Health Service Headquarters.
