Pueblo of taos will use this FY 2024 tvssa award to implement services for victims of crime that meet needs identified by the community and reflect tribal community values and traditions

The Pueblo of Taos received a $229,973 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) under the VOCA Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program (CFDA 16.841). The grant will be used by the Pueblo of Taos to implement services for victims of crime that meet needs identified by the community and reflect tribal community values and traditions. This aligns with the congressional intent for the set-aside from the Crime Victims Fund, which was created in 2018 to improve services for victims of crime in tribal communities. The project period for this grant award runs from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2027.

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.
