Increase the availability of COVID-19 testing, vaccines, and other COVID-19 mitigation strategies for survivors.
NIWRC will allocate pass through funds to tribal organizations addressing housing and domestic violence that we have previously connected with through our National Workgroup on Safe Housing for American Indian and Alaska Native Survivors of Gender-Based Violence. These funds will be utilized for COVID-19 mitigation activities (such as testing, PPE, staff related needs, health and wellness supplies for advocates and survivors, and additional resources to specifically address COVID-19 impacts and ongoing advocate pandemic fatigue). 

Applications will be reviewed in a timely fashion and on an on-going/rolling basis.
