Native Village of Buckland Tribal Victim Services 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, Native Village of Buckland requested funding to enhance and expand their current Buckland Victim Service Program. With this funding, Native Village of Buckland will hire a FTE Youth Program Case Worker to support direct services to children and young adults including traditional native activities; provide emergency and short term services to victims, including shelter and transportation; purchase general office supplies including a cell phone and laptop; and, provide travel and training for staff.
