Indigenous violence survivors see fewer services after federal cuts

The recent report from the Urban Indian Health Institute reveals that federal funding cuts have left over 1,000 requests for help unmet among Indigenous survivors of violence. This decline in resources affects tribal and urban organizations that provide crucial support services. The reduction in federal aid underscores a significant gap in available services for these communities, which are already disproportionately affected by violence. This situation highlights the urgent need for increased funding to ensure that these vital services remain accessible and effective.
