The Department of Children and Families provides funds to each Tribal Nation to operate Tribal Family Services Programs. The Tribal Family Services Program includes funds from state and federal sources which are combined to provide tribes with flexible funding to meet the needs of their respective communities. Tribal Nations submit an annual application with budget to DCF explaining how the Tribal Family Services Program funds will be used and how outcomes will be evaluated. Tribal Nations submit an annual report to DCF describing progress on achieving the goals identified in their applications. For more resources and links, please visit the Family Services Resource page.
