Native America Calling: Assessing the outlook for domestic violence prevention

Assessing the outlook for domestic violence prevention
Congress just approved significant funding increases going forward for a handful of core domestic violence funding and policy initiatives.
But at the same time, many services for survivors face a new level of unpredictability. Victim support funds in some states plummeted as much as 70 percent, leaving states to try and cover some of those costs.
The Trump administration instituted requirements that domestic violence survivors prove their immigration status before being allowed into shelters and certain long-time domestic violence services remain a target in upcoming federal budget talks.
Tune into Native America Calling get a picture of the current trends for domestic violence prevention.
