The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded $1.9 million to the Fort Peck Assiniboine & Sioux Tribes on October 1, 2025, under the Tribal Justice Assistance program (CFDA 16.596) to construct a 24-foot by 64-foot modular building to house Youth Court, Family Court, and grant-funded personnel at the Fort Peck Tribal Courts in Poplar, Montana.

The current courthouse is structurally unsound with a failing foundation, and deteriorating conditions combined with overcrowding, inadequate security, and lack of confidential meeting spaces impair the court's ability to deliver judicial services. The new facility will serve youth, families, and individuals involved in family and youth court proceedings on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. Performance of work takes place in Poplar, Montana 59255, with a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2030. The Tribal Justice Assistance program supports critical needs of tribal justice systems to prevent crime and ensure tribal safety through development, implementation, and enhancement of justice system capacity.
