Utah navajo health system INC 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 Utah Navajo Health System Inc. (UNHS) received a $441,989 Project Grant award under the FY 2024 Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside (TVSSA) Program (CFDA 16.841), administered by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). The grant will be used by UNHS to implement services for victims of crime that meet needs identified by the Navajo community and reflect tribal values and traditions. This aligns with the Congressional intent to improve victim services in tribal communities through the TVSSA program, which was created in 2018. The award has a project period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

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.
