The Alaska Native Justice Center, Inc. has been awarded a $409,636 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) under the VOCA Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program (CFDA 16.841). This funding will be used to implement comprehensive victim services for American Indian and Alaska Native communities in Alaska, reflecting tribal values and traditions. Proposed activities align with the Congressional intent for the Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside, which was created in 2018 to improve services for victims of crime in tribal communities. The award will support a range of culturally relevant services, including victim assistance, legal aid, transitional housing, youth reentry programs, and community education and prevention efforts. The project period is from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025.
