Klamath Tribes will receive grant
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced Friday that the Klamath Tribes will receive $539,798 in American Recovery and Investment Act funds, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
The funds will be awarded over the next two years. They will be used to improve available services and support mechanisms for domestic violence and sexual assault victims. The Tribes will also increase staff to improve their response time to domestic violence incidents.
Klamath Tribes officials did not return phone calls to comment.
The Office on Violence Against Women Recovery Act Transitional Housing Program awarded the funds, part of the $2.8 million set aside by the OVW for the Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program.
The Klamath Tribes are the second Basin entity to receive Recovery Act Funds from the OVW. The Klamath Crisis Center also received $499,978 in funds Sept. 4 to support its transitional housing program, distributed to the organization over the next three years, officials said.
