Crow tribe of indians 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 Crow Tribe of Indians was awarded a $282,632 Project Grant under the FY 2024 VOCA Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program (CFDA 16.841) administered by the U.S. Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). The grant funding will be used by the Crow Tribe to implement victim services that meet the needs identified by the tribal community and align with their cultural 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 was created in 2018. The grant has an award date of January 1, 2025 and a completion date of December 31, 2029.

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.
