Native village of nunam iqua 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 Native Village of Nunam Iqua was awarded a $219,402 Project Grant under the FY 2024 VOCA Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside 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 the tribe to implement culturally appropriate victim services and programs that meet the needs identified by the Nunam Iqua community and reflect their tribal values and traditions. This aligns with the congressional intent for the VOCA Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside, which was created in 2018 to improve services for victims of crime in tribal communities across the United States. The grant project period runs from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026.

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.
