FEMA Emergency Management Program Disasters can happen anywhere, often with little or no warning. Is your tribe prepared? Let ITCC's Emergency Management Program help you. Environmental Protection Agency Program ITCC is currently administering a federal Environmental Protection Agency technical assistance project, targeted for nine Tribes in California to provide Chemical Emergency Response Plans and preparedness for accidents that involve hazardous material spills. Included in the project is the formation of a coalition of tribes that can act as an information network regarding environmental laws, regulations, and resources available and affecting Indian tribes. Low Income Home Energy AssistanceProgram The cost of energy has increased, therefore making it difficult for many people to pay their utility bills. LIHEAP assists eligible families through payment of their utility bills, such as gas, propane, oil, electricity, and diesel fuel. Applicants may also purchase firewood for supplying their heating source. This year ITCC will serve thirty-nine tribes in California. Family Violence Prevention Program This program is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach designed to create a total wrap around service program for Indian families experiencing violence in their homes and community. This program will provide access to and participation in prevention, intervention, and services that will decrease violence in their homes. Stop Violence Against Indian Women Program Rural Domestic Violence and Child Victimization Enforcement The RDVP currently impacts 18 tribes in 12 Northern and Central rural communities. The services that RDVP currently offers includes: Community educational presentations and workshops on domestic violence and child victimization, youth educational activities and materials on subjects such as domestic violence and child victimization, technical assistance for development of tribal domestic violence policies and protocols, and cultural sensitivity sessions for agencies providing victim services to tribal communities. Child Care Development Services The objective of this program is to increase the availability, affordability, and quality of child care services. Child Care Development Services will accomplish this by providing certificates for child care services for income eligible families with parents who are working or attending a training or educational program. The intent of this program is to have the parents choose who will provide child care services for their children. Funding is also provided to improve early childhood development as well as before and after-school services, innovative projects like the after school tutorial program, as well as educational and cultural field trips for the children.
