The Kasigluk Traditional Elders Council was awarded a $219,402 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Program (CFDA 16.841). The grant will be used to implement victim services that meet the needs identified by the Kasigluk community and reflect their tribal values and traditions. This aligns with the congressional intent of the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside, which was created in 2018 to improve services for victims of crime in tribal communities. The grant period runs from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2027.
