Tribal Justice

We met with all 18 FY 2023 grantees in this quarter of the program. These were all oriented towards development of these new grantees' action plans.

In June 2024, the TA Center met with 67 carryover grantees (one of them twice).

Discuss the challenges being faced by tribal communities when it comes to successful reentry and reintegration post-treatment and post-incarceration such as economic disparities, poverty, unemployment, and limited access to essential resources. Explore how geographic isolation affects access to services and opportunities. Examine initial strategies to overcome these barriers, including ways to leverage community-based services that engage tribal leaders, elders and communities in support of culturally relevant responses and programs.
