The Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association, Inc. (APIA) was awarded a $441,989 Project Grant by 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 funding will be used by APIA, a federally recognized tribal organization, to implement services for victims of crime that meet the needs identified by the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands communities and reflect their tribal values and traditions. This aligns with the congressional intent to improve victim services in tribal communities through the VOCA Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program, which provides financial assistance to tribes and tribal organizations. The award has a project period from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026.

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. 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.
