OVW Fiscal Year 2021 Grants to Tribal Governments to Exercise Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction: Targeted Support for Exercising Tribes Solicitation

The OVW Grants to Tribal Governments to Exercise Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction Program (Tribal Jurisdiction Program) (CFDA# 16.025) is authorized by the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, 25 U.S.C. § 1304(f). This targeted solicitation under the Tribal Jurisdiction Program assists Indian tribes that currently are exercising special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction (SDVCJ) by providing financial support for discrete costs that result from the exercise of SDVCJ and related training and technical assistance (TTA). Note: Tribes that have not yet begun to exercise SDVCJ and tribes that are currently exercising but are seeking funding to plan and complete broad-scale system improvements to strengthen the exercise of SDVCJ should apply for funding through the FY 2021 OVW Grants to Tribal Governments to Exercise Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction solicitation.
