A Maine tribe will receive nearly $330,000 in federal funding.

According to the Portland Press Herald, the money is going to the Pleasant Point Passamaquoddy tribe to expand existing services for victims of sex trafficking, dating violence, and other forms of abuse. The funding is expected to be used for transportation for victims in remote areas and staff training.

The U.S. Department of Justice is providing the money.

Other tribes in states like California and New Mexico are also receiving funding.
