Hannahville indian community will use this FY 2023 tvssa award to implement services for victims of crime that meet needs identified by the community and reflect tribal community values and traditions

The Hannahville Indian Community was awarded a $251,383.00 Project Grant on January 1, 2024 from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) under the Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program (CFDA 16.841). The funding will be used to implement victim services for the Hannahville community that align with their tribal values and traditions. Allowable activities under this formula grant program include direct victim assistance, outreach, training, and capacity building for culturally-appropriate victim service programs. This multi-year grant project will be completed by December 31, 2026. As a federally recognized tribal government, the Hannahville Indian Community has extensive experience managing federal grant awards to support a wide range of community development, health, education, and social service programs for its members.

This aligns with the congressional intent for the set-aside from the CVF, which was created in 2018 to improve services for victims of crime in tribal communities. OVC administers the tvssa via a formula. Tvssa funds may be used for any purpose directly related to serving victims of crime.
