Indigenous violence survivors see fewer services after federal cuts

Federal funding cuts have left over 1,000 requests for help unmet among American Indian and Alaska Native survivors of violence, according to a report from the Urban Indian Health Institute. This reduction in federal support has strained resources and services available to these communities, which already face significant challenges in accessing healthcare and support systems. The implications are profound, highlighting a critical need for sustained funding to ensure these survivors receive the necessary assistance and care to heal from their traumas.
