Branch of Tribal Community Resilience | Indian Affairs Branch of Tribal Community Resilience The mission of the Branch of Tribal Community Resilience (TCR) is to provide direct technical assistance and support (including access to pre-disaster funding for preventative efforts) to federally recognized Tribes and Alaska Native Villages to address imminent threats to human health and safety and treaty and Trust assets and resources.

TCR provides nation-wide support for assessments and complex community relocation or asset protection efforts which bridge multiple BIA programs and federal agency missions.

TCR is committed to increasing government efficiency through interagency coordination to expedite project implementation and to reducing federal costs by leveraging private and philanthropic partnerships to fulfill the federal Trust responsibility and moral obligation of the United States to ensure the protection of Tribal and individual Indian lands, assets, resources, and treaty rights.

The Branch of Tribal Community Resilience (TCR) provides support and partnerships to Federally recognized Tribes and Alaska Native Villages and coordinates with Federal agencies to fulfill treaty and Trust obligations.

TCR provides competitive annual funding, strengthens Tribal resilience through information sharing and collaboration with Tribes and other stakeholders, facilitates access to trainings and workshops, serves as Awarding Official Technical Representatives (AOTRs) or Program Officials for financial agreements, and supports comprehensive planning assistance to Tribes.

Our effective leadership and interagency coordination, particularly for large, complex projects, focuses on reducing bureaucratic processes and expediting project implementation and timelines by streamlining federal processes. TCR strengthens Tribal sovereignty and autonomy in prioritization, planning and implementation of projects that address imminent threats to human health and safety and Treaty and Trust assets and resources.
