Family Spirit is a unique, evidence-based home-visiting model with a reputation for success: dependability with flexibility.
Family Spirit addresses intergenerational behavioral health problems, applies local cultural assets, and overcomes deficits in the professional healthcare workforce in low-resource communities.

It is used in over 100 tribal communities across 16 states, and it is also used in several other low-income urban environments in Chicago and St. Louis.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is seeking applications for funding for grants to support research involving federally recognized tribes (or tribally based organizations) on issues of crime and justice in the United States. This program furthers the Department’s mission by sponsoring research to provide objective, independent, evidence-based knowledge and tools to meet the challenges of crime and justice, particularly at the tribal level.
Provides an overview and description of crime-reduction strategies and approaches that have shown positive results in Indian Country.
Department of Justice grants: Office of Justice Programs’ open grant opportunities are available online, and as with all of the Justice Department, the grant-making process is streamlined for tribal communities, with the Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS)serving as a single solicitation for existing tribal government-specific grant programs administered by the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).
OJJDP specifically supports awardee efforts to develop and implement effective and coordinated prevention and intervention programs and to improve the juvenile justice system so that it protects public safety, holds justice-involved youth appropriately accountable, and provides treatment and rehabilitative services tailored to the needs of juveniles and their families.
