Northern California Native American tribes get $10.4 million in public safety grants

Ten Northern California Native American communities have received grants as part of a $295.8 million program to improve public safety, serve victims of crime, combat violence against women and support youth programs in American Indian and Alaska Native communities, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Northern District of California announced.

The 10 tribes within that San Francisco-based district were awarded 18 grants making up $10,592,453 of the national total, more than double the funding awarded in 10 grants to six tribes in the Northern District in 2019, the DOJ said.
