The Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes received a $272,089 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime to implement victim services for the tribal community under the VOCA Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program (CFDA 16.841). The funding will be used to provide comprehensive, culturally-appropriate victim assistance services that meet the needs identified by the tribal community and reflect its values and traditions. This aligns with the congressional intent of the Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside, which was established in 2018 to improve services for victims of crime in tribal communities. The grant award has a project period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2028.
