During this session, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) will hear from tribal leaders and stakeholders to help inform how BJA tribal assistance funds and programs can best support tribal communities and native villages.
The priority areas on which we will focus include: comprehensive justice system planning, tribal justice facilities, court system enhancements, alcohol and substance abuse programs, civil and criminal legal assistance, alternatives to incarceration, addressing violent crime in tribal communities, and other priorities. By identifying and clarifying these priorities, the session will result in more efficiently targeting the delivery of needed grant funding, which, in turn, will enhance the safety and security in tribal communities and native villages.
This session will include a facilitated question-and-answer section for tribal leadership.
