Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Construction - The Navajo Nation Division of Social Services/Department of Family Services is submitting its application for federal Health Resources & Service Administration funding, via opportunity number HRSA-23-117 Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending (CPF/CDS). The DFS will partner with the Tuba City Regional Health Care Corporation and local tribal government to utilize CPF/CDS funding for a construction project, the Tuba City Domestic Violence Shelter. The domestic violence shelter will be a stand-alone structure located in Tuba City, Arizona on the western area Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation expands into three States: Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah with a land base of approximately 17,544,500 acres. Tuba City is one of the largest towns on the Navajo Nation and does not have a facility where victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and crime victimization cannot go to locally. The proposed shelter will serve the Tuba City area, as well as the western Navajo Nation where shelter resources are void. The new shelter facility will house women and children seeking emergency shelter due to domestic violence abuse, sexual assault abuse, and crime victimizations. In addition to standard 24/7 emergency shelter services, the Shelter will provide counseling services, and direct victim services. Shelter residents will also have access to direct victim services such as assistance in applying for protective orders, court accompaniment for court hearings, transportation to court and medical appointments, assistance in applying for public assistance, and assistance with safety planning. The new facility will be approximately seven thousand to eight thousand square feet built from the ground up with a kitchen/dining area, living room, multipurpose room, offices, counseling room, and a minimum of six bedrooms for shelter residents. The exact dimensions and layout being developed during the design phase of the project with the help of architect.
