Life & Work
The bill's emphasis on culturally and linguistically appropriate services and its focus on historically marginalized and underserved communities of color would benefit tribal youth, who experience homelessness at disproportionately high rates. Programs must develop outreach plans to reach underserved populations and provide services tailored to cultural backgrounds.
“the term `underserved populations' means victims of homelessness or trafficking or runaway youth, who disproportionately face barriers in accessing and using victim services, including populations who are underserved due to limited English proficiency or are historically marginalized and underserved communities of color”
