Purpose

The Tribal Sexual Assault Services Program (TSASP) provides funding to develop, maintain, and expand sustainable, culturally-relevant sexual assault services within Indian country and Alaskan native villages that provide direct intervention and related assistance to those victimized by sexual assault.
