Resighini rancheria 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 Resighini Rancheria will use this $219,402 FY 2024 Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside (TVSSA) Program grant, administered by the U.S. Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime (CFDA 16.841), to implement services for victims of crime that meet needs identified by the tribal community and reflect their values and traditions. The TVSSA program was created in 2018 to improve victim services in tribal communities. This award will enable the Resighini Rancheria, a federally recognized Yurok tribe, to develop and enhance comprehensive victim support programs, such as victim advocacy, shelter, counseling, and legal assistance, tailored to the specific requirements of their community.

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.
