What the money can and cannot pay for

Domestic Violence Prevention (DVP) awards support the development and/or expansion of a DVP program by incorporating prevention efforts addressing social, spiritual, physical and emotional well-being of victims through the integration of culturally appropriate practices and trauma informed services for Tribes, Tribal organizations and Urban Indian organizations (UIO) serving the American Indian / Alaska Native (AI/AN) population. The DVP program aims to promote prevention efforts that address domestic and sexual violence including sexual exploitation/human trafficking, Missing and Murdered AI/AN, and child maltreatment. To create an effective DVP program, cross-system collaboration with other community sectors to address violence is key – especially with law enforcement, emergency department, social service, legal service, education, coalitions, health care providers, behavioral health, shelters, and advocacy groups.
