The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians received a $441,989 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 funding will enable the tribe to implement services for victims of crime that meet the needs identified by the tribal community and reflect their values and traditions. This aligns with the Congressional intent for the Crime Victims Fund set-aside created in 2018 to improve victim services in tribal communities. The project period runs from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2027.
