ANCHORAGE, Alaska – U.S. Attorney Bryan Schroder for the
District of Alaska announced that more than $65 million in Department of
Justice grants is available to help communities combat human trafficking and
serve adults and children who are victimized in trafficking operations.
“Our nation is facing difficult challenges, none more
pressing than the scourge of human trafficking. Human traffickers pose a dire
threat to public safety and countering this threat remains one of the
Administration’s top domestic priorities,” said Katharine T. Sullivan, Principal
Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Justice Programs. “The
Department of Justice is front and center in the fight against this insidious
crime. OJP is making historic amounts of grant funding available to ensure that
our communities have access to innovative and diverse solutions.”
The funding is
available through OJP, the federal government’s leading source of public safety
funding and crime victim assistance in state, local and tribal jurisdictions.
OJP’s programs support a wide array of activities and services, including
programs that support human trafficking task forces and services for human
trafficking survivors.
