Support for Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons Funding under the OVC FY 2026 TVSSA Formula Program can be used to help Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP). Applicants may use TVSSA funds to— develop response protocols among a multidisciplinary, interjurisdictional group of agencies and organizations responsible for responding to cases of MMIP.
This could include development of an MMIP Tribal Community Response Plan related to victim services; educate the community about what to do when a loved one goes missing; educate the community about the intersection of MMIP and other crimes by combining MMIP issues into existing awareness events (e.g., awareness month activities for domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, human trafficking); promote awareness of services available to the family and loved ones of MMIP; or help raise awareness of missing individuals from the communities they serve—when the events around their disappearance consist of any of the four circumstances above—by renting billboards; printing placards, leaflets, search instructions, maps, and other display materials; or hosting awareness walks or other commemorative events.

Section 4(c)(2)(C) Response of the Departments of Justice and the Interior to Not One More: Findings and Recommendations of the Not Invisible Act Commission Pursuant to Public Law 116-166 Date Published: March 2024 Agencies: U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of the Interior Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons Frequently Asked Questions About the TVSSA Distribution Who determines which Tribes get funding under the Tribal Set-Aside from the CVF?
Why don’t all Tribes get funding every year? Every federally recognized Tribe that submits an application for the OVC Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside (TVSSA) program receives a grant award. Not all Tribes apply each year.
Information about how to participate in the noncompetitive, formula grant TVSSA program is posted on OVC’s website each year. How does the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) statute authorize DOJ to determine what services are allowable and who qualifies as a crime victim under the TVSSA from the CVF?
The VOCA statute designated OVC as the federal entity to administer the TVSSA funding, including establishing the requirements and eligibility criteria for the program. The statutory phrase “services for victims of crime” requires that beneficiaries of this program be victims of criminal victimization. Under the TVSSA program, Tribes may provide a broad range of services to crime victims.
How does DOJ decide what activities are allowed under the TVSSA? OVC’s interpretation of what is allowable under the TVSSA is very broad—essentially any service to benefit a crime victim is allowable.
For example, funding under the TVSSA Formula Program can be used to support activities such as— direct services to victims of crime; victim service program development and implementation; victim service program expansion; community outreach and education; purchasing or procuring tangible items related to victim services and other activities needed to address the individualized needs of victims of any type of crime in Tribal communities; support for Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons (see below for additional information); and other activities needed to address the needs of a wide variety of crime victims in Tribal communities.
Because the statutory authorization for the TVSSA specifies that the funds are to be used for “services for victims of crime,” cash payments to crime victims are not allowable. What gives DOJ authority for oversight of how Tribes choose to spend these funds? How does oversight compare to the VOCA State Victim Assistance Formula Program?
All grants—including those made under TVSSA and formula grants made to states—are governed by 2 C. F. R.
§ 200, which define the requirements for government oversight of grants. TVSSA awards have certain flexibilities (e.g., in project duration) that VOCA state formula grants do not have, by virtue of TVSSA’s more flexible statutory authorization (one sentence in the annual appropriation act). OVC has sought to maximize Tribal flexibility in use of funds for victim services, where legally permissible to do so.
What guidelines around allowable grant expenditures apply to Tribes under the TVSSA and states under the VOCA State Victim Assistance Formula Grant program? Are the guidelines the same or do Tribes have more flexibility? Tribes under the TVSSA have more latitude than the states under the State Victim Assistance Formula Grant program in determining how to use their funds.
How have funds under the Tribal Set-Aside from the CVF been obligated since Fiscal Year 2018? What percentage has been to Tribes, and is that statutory?
One hundred percent of Tribal Set-Aside funding is used for Tribes—through grants directly to Tribes, grants to support Tribes through convenings such as the biennial National Indian Nations Conference, and training and technical assistance to support grantees in implementing their awards. View details about the obligation of the Tribal Set-Aside from the Crime Victims Fund for Fiscal Years 2018–2023 .

Read articleOn June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
