OVC Fiscal Year 2020 Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Formula Program

DOJ and OVC have long recognized the critical need to support American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) victims of crime. Over time, OVC has conducted a number of tribal consultations and listening sessions to gather input from our AI/AN partners regarding the Crime Victims Fund tribal victim services set-aside. Based on the information gathered, OVC will allocate the FY 2020 funding by an interim discretionary administrative formula. The formula being used was created with significant input from tribal leaders and from the information gathered from the consultations and listening sessions. Under this award, Aleut Community of St. Paul Island - Tribal Government will: 1) Engage in strategic planning to guide the development, implementation, and expansion of trauma informed victim services; 2) Expand services to include trauma-specific
interventions designed to address the consequences of trauma in victims and to empower and facilitate healing for the victim; 3) Incorporate revised operating policies, procedures, and administrative practices into the development and expansion of trauma informed victim services, focusing on expanding the services to include Elders and adult survivors of child/ youth abuse based on the documented needs of the community; and 4)Facilitate tangible and non-tangible services necessary for victim services.
