The Tejon Indian Tribe was awarded a $1,200,000 Project Grant from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women under the Violence Against Women Discretionary Grants for Indian Tribal Governments (CFDA 16.587) program. The funding will enable the Tejon Indian Tribe/Kern County Native Safe Haven Project to maintain the operation of a safe house shelter program and plan/implement a new victim advocacy and support services program. This grant aims to decrease the incidence of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, and stalking in the tribal community, strengthen the tribe's capacity to respond to these crimes, and hold perpetrators accountable. The project will be executed over a 36-month performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
