The hoopa valley tribe will use funds to enhance their healing to wellness court by creating an integration navigator position and expanding their cultural programming

The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded the Hoopa Valley Tribe $1 million on October 1, 2025, under the Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 16.585) to enhance its Healing to Wellness Court through September 30, 2030.

The tribe will create an Integration Navigator position and expand cultural programming to serve additional participants while improving service delivery. The Integration Navigator(s) will document participant progress, coordinate services across partners, and prepare comprehensive reports for judicial review. The tribe will strengthen cross-jurisdiction coordination and partnerships to reduce recidivism and substance use disorder involvement in the criminal justice system. Technology upgrades will support the navigator role and case management functions.

Performance takes place in Hoopa, California. The Hoopa Valley Tribe, a federally recognized tribal government, receives this project grant as the prime recipient. The five-year award period aligns with the Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program's support for tribal healing to wellness courts that integrate substance use disorder treatment, mandatory drug testing, incentives and sanctions, and transitional services in a judicially supervised setting.

The tribe will serve additional participants through this enhancement while revolutionizing service delivery through case management, strengthened partnerships and improved cross-jurisdiction coordination. The projects technology upgrades will ensure that integration navigator(S) can properly document participant progress, coordinate services, and prepare comprehensive reports for judicial review.
