tim services and advocacy for members of Indian 
tribes. The services supported with funds under the 
program must be designed to address the unique cir-
cumstances of the individuals to be served, including 
the customary practices and linguistic needs of the 
individuals within the tribal community to be served.

or tribal nonprofit organizations providing advocacy 
services to members of Indian tribes within the com-
munity to be served such as a safety center or shel-
ter program for members of Indian tribes. In the 
case where the above organizations do not exist 
within the participating tribe, the participation and 
support from members of Indian tribes in the com-
munity to be served is sufficient to meet this re-
quirement.
