Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2018, $449,066)

The Comprehensive Tribal Victim Assistance (CTVA) Program supports American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities to develop, enhance, and sustain a comprehensive victim assistance program that (1) provides a coordinated collaborative multidisciplinary response to victims of crime, their families, and the community and (2) provides trauma-informed, culturally competent holistic services to all identifiable victims of crime, their families, and the community.

The Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe requested funding to enhance their current Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT) project. Enhancements include 1) strengthening their community response for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, elder abuse, and child abuse; 2) complementing the departmental outreach efforts by bringing awareness and education of victims’ rights; and 3) providing trauma-informed and culturally holistic services to those in need.
