The grant will fund the implementation of victim services for the Makah tribal community that align with their values and traditions. Authorized activities include providing direct assistance, outreach, training, and capacity building to deliver culturally-appropriate services for victims of crime in the Neah Bay, Washington area. The multi-year grant period runs from October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2028. As a federally recognized tribal government, the Makah Tribe has a strong track record of managing federal grants and contracts to support critical services across its community.
