In the 19th, organizations that support Indigenous survivors of violence are facing challenges due to reduced federal funding. A recent report highlights the impact of these cuts on services provided to survivors. The report was compiled by the Urban Indian Health Institute, which surveyed various tribes and organizations. It found that the funding reductions have resulted in over 1,000 unmet requests for help. Further details on the report and its findings are available from the source, including the types of services that have been affected, such as safe housing and counseling, and the discussion of the report at a congressional hearing.
