In doing this work, grantees are required to engage in and demonstrate "meaningful, ongoing collaboration" with the tribal social service agencies.The funding is intended for tribal courts to:(1) Conduct assessments of how courts handle child welfare proceedings;(2) Implement changes to address the results of court assessments;(3) Ensure that the safety, permanency, and well-being needs of children are met in a timely and complete manner; and(4) Continuously improve the quality of court hearings and legal representation, including engagement of parties.
