## Resource

A new report reveals a devastating funding crisis crippling services for Native American and Alaska Native survivors of violence, with over a thousand urgent requests left unmet due to federal budget cuts. Tribal organizations, already stretched thin, are forced to halt or scale back vital programs—often leading to layoffs and leaving women and children without safe housing or basic support. Despite acknowledging the need, federal officials cite limited resources, yet the gap between demand and funding runs into billions. The human cost is stark: even simple necessities like appropriate clothing for survivors can’t always be provided, exposing the deep, painful consequences of underfunding.
