Indigenous violence survivors see fewer services after federal cuts

Federal funding cuts have left over 1,000 requests for help unmet among Indigenous survivors of violence, according to a report from the Urban Indian Health Institute. The survey highlights the dire impact on services for American Indian and Alaska Native communities, revealing that reduced federal support has strained the ability of organizations to provide necessary assistance. This situation underscores the critical need for sustained funding to support these communities, highlighting the broader implications for health equity and the ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous populations.
