Alaska Native Tribal Resource Center on Domestic Violence

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) announces the availability of funds for one award under the Family Violence Prevention and Services Discretionary Grants Program to support an Alaska Native Tribal Resource Center on Domestic Violence (ANTRC). The ANTRC will offer a comprehensive array of statewide community education, training, and technical assistance to Indian Tribes and tribal organizations, specifically designed to enhance the capacity of the Tribes (Alaska Natives) and tribal organizations to respond to family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence in a culturally sensitive and relevant manner. The ANTRC will be part of a network of National and Special Issue Resource Centers providing leadership and support to the existing programs serving victims of domestic violence and their children. ACF will apply a preference for applicants proposing to establish a resource center in the State of Alaska, and will award bonus points to such applications.
