SUMMARY:The Access to Fair Financing for Opportunity and Resilient Development (AFFORD) Act
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, February 23\, U.S. Senators Steve Daines and Mark Warner will introduce the bipartisan Access to Fair Financing for Opportunity and Resilient Development (AFFORD) Act\, which contains four provisions enhancing federal support of CDFIs. Particularly key among these for Native CDFIs are the Scaling Community Lenders Act (which would increase the liquidity and lending velocity of Native CDFIs nationwide)\, and Section 301 of the Rural Housing Service Reform Act of 2025 (which would make the highly successful USDA Section 502 Native CDFI pilot relending program permanent\, expand it nationally\, and authorize $50 million for the program). These provisions – which were featured in a widely supported amendment that nearly made it into the final National Defense Authorization Act package passed by Congress in December – will catalyze the impacts of Native CDFIs in fostering small business development\, housing development and homeownership\, and overall economic growth in Tribal communities. \n\n\n\nRiley O’Leary\, Legislative Assistant for Senator Daines\, will join NCN on this webinar to provide an overview of the AFFORD Act and how Native CDFIs and their partners can engage members of Congress to support and ultimately pass this vital legislation.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Addressing Veteran Substance Use
DESCRIPTION:Promoting Recovery Through Collaboration and Compassion \n\n\n\n\n\nDate: March 3\, 2026Time: 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET  \n\n\n\nSubstance use among Veterans and Service Members continues to be a critical behavioral health challenge that intersects with trauma\, pain management\, and the transition to civilian life. Veterans are at significantly higher risk of developing a substance use disorder (SUD) as compared to non-veterans.  Veterans with SUD are also more likely to suffer from a mental illness or experience homelessness (Lloyd\, Prakash\, and Terplan\, 2024). Federal\, state and local agencies  are continually working to reduce the prevalence of SUD among Service Members\, Veterans and their families (SMVF).This webinar will explore evidence-informed strategies\, emerging trends\, and innovative models that support recovery and resilience among SMVF. Presenters will discuss the importance of coordinated care across systems including the Department of Veterans Affairs\, state health authorities\, and community-based organizations. The presenters will highlight programs that are improving access to effective substance use treatment and long-term recovery support.Join us for this conversation as we bring together leaders from the Department of Veterans Affairs\, the SAFE Project\, and the Oregon Health Authority to share practical tools\, lessons learned\, and resources for those working to address substance use and promote wellness across the military and Veteran continuum of care.This webinar will be followed by a learning community series exploring each of these topics in greater detail. If you are interested\, you can get further information via upcoming issues of our monthly enewsletter\, “Topics in the News” or from our Upcoming Events page. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\nLearn about federal and state resources that can enhance coordination of recovery services and community partnerships.\n\n\n\nUnderstand current trends in substance use among Veterans and Service Members\, including co-occurring mental health and trauma-related conditions.\n\n\n\nExplore effective approaches and treatment models supported by VA\, the SAFE Project\, and state partners.

SUMMARY:Violent Online Networks and Sadistic Online Exploitation: An Emerging Online Threat to Youth
DESCRIPTION:Violent online networks are increasingly targeting vulnerable children and youth\, coercing them into producing and sharing graphic content including gore\, animal cruelty\, self-harm\, violence\, and in some cases child sexual abuse material.This webinar equips professionals with critical insight into this emerging threat\, specifically those working within and amongst our Indian Country vulnerable victims. This will also include offender dynamics\, victim vulnerability\, unique challenges\, impacts on victims\, forensic interviewing considerations\, and strategies for addressing secondary traumatic stress for Multidisciplinary Team members working these cases all through the lenses of the unique considerations for IC professionals.The FBI is actively combatting Violent Online Networks (VON). These groups often promote sadistic online exploitation (SOE) and Nihilistic Violent Extremism (NVE). Members of these violent online networks methodically target the most vulnerable individuals and coerce them into producing violent and/or sexually explicit material. The FBI partners with organizations like the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and various international task forces to investigate these crimes and prosecute offenders. The FBI has reported opening investigations into more than 350 individuals affiliated with VON associated predators who befriend minors or other vulnerable people and coerce them to create sexually explicit material and commit acts such as harming themselves or animals. All 56 FBI field offices have investigations into these violent networks with some investigations impacting Tribal communities. During this webinar\, participants will learn about the increase in FBI reports of technology-facilitated victimization by violent VON groups\, the unique characteristics of the cases and related considerations for forensic interviews\, and strategies for addressing secondary traumatic stress for Multidisciplinary Teams providing services in these cases.This webinar is available to all federal\, state\, and tribal criminal justice and social services personnel as well as Tribal leaders and interested community stakeholders. There is no charge to attend the webinar. CLE will not be provided. \n\n\n\nThis training is a joint effort hosted by federal law enforcement agencies responding to violent crime in Indian Country. Sponsoring agencies include the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Indian Country Training Initiative\, the United States Indian Police Academy\, the Federal Bureau of Investigation\, the Drug Enforcement Administration\, the Bureau of Alcohol\, Tobacco\, Firearms and Explosives\, and the Department of the Interior’s Office of Law Enforcement and Security’s Victim Assistance Program.

SUMMARY:The Native American Entrepreneurial Opportunity Act
DESCRIPTION:U.S. Representative Sharice Davids (D-KS)\, an ardent champion for Native CDFIs\, will join NCN on this webinar to share about the Native American Entrepreneurial Opportunity Act (HR 7396) and how Native CDFIs and their partners can advance this to passage in the 119th Congress. \n\n\n\nThis bipartisan bill – which features two Democrat and two GOP co-sponsors – codifies in statute the Office of Native American Affairs (ONAA) within the Small Business Administration (SBA)\, which shall be responsible for building a working relationship with Indian Country “by targeting programs of the Administration relating to entrepreneurial development\, contracting\, and capital access” to (1) establish or expand small businesses owned and controlled by individual Native people\, and (2) broadly promote economic development across Indian Country. The Act also mandates that ONAA be headed by an Assistant Administrator for Native American Affairs\, who will report directly to the SBA Administrator with expanded ability to: provide support through grants\, contracts\, and technical assistance; conduct tribal consultations; utilize SBA’s entrepreneurial and contracting programs; and provide training for Indian Tribes\, Alaska Native Corporations\, and Native Hawaiian Organizations and small businesses owned and controlled by their members.

SUMMARY:Migraine and Headache Disorder in Indigenous Communities
DESCRIPTION:The USET Office of Tribal Public Health (OTPH) is delighted to invite you to our first GHWIC Chronic Disease ECHO sessions\, Year 2. The Chronic Disease ECHOs allows Tribal Nations to take their health promotion and disease prevention programs into their own hands\, using traditional knowledge\, community engagement\, culturally relevant programs\, resources\, and educational materials. These quarterly Chronic Disease ECHOs allow us to have a broader reach to work in community-chosen clinical linkages and culturally adapted initiatives to promote focus areas of physical activity/nutrition\, commercial tobacco prevention\, type 2 diabetes\, oral health\, heart disease\, and stroke prevention. \n\n\n\nThese quarterly ECHO sessions will feature Indigenous speakers who are subject matter experts to provide education and disease prevention to reduce health disparities and increase healthier lives among American Indian and Alaska Native communities. They will serve as a gathering for sharing innovative strategies that provide a cultural approach to chronic disease prevention\, management\, and control. The long-term outcome is to reduce rates of death and disability and the prevalence of commercial tobacco use\, prediabetes and diabetes\, high blood pressure\, obesity\, oral disease\, and other chronic disease risk factors and conditions.   \n\n\n\nWe are having this GHWIC C2 Chronic Disease ECHO session to raise awareness about Migraine and Headache disorders in Indigenous communities. The importance of having this session will echo the need for prevention\, management\, and control of chronic diseases. Each participant will receive Tribal tailored resources on this debilitating disorder to better recognize\, treat\, and manage this condition. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Mary Herne\, FNP‑C\, is a Family Nurse Practitioner serving as a primary care provider with a subspecialty in headache medicine at Saint Regis Mohawk Health Services.  She is a registered member of the community she serves. Mary’s commitment to headache medicine is shaped by both personal experiences and professional background. \n\n\n\nWhen: March 31 at 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Central/2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Eastern \n\n\n\nWho should attend:  \n\n\n\n\nTribal Leaders \n\n\n\nClinical Staff \n\n\n\nHealthcare Professionals \n\n\n\nPublic Health Staff \n\n\n\nAll USET Tribal Nations \n\n\n\nGHWIC C2 recipients and awardees \n\n\n\nInterns\n\n\n\n\nLearning objectives: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify primary headache disorders\n\n\n\nIdentify headache red flags\n\n\n\nIdentify impact of prevalence rates of migraine in Indigenous communities\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is open! \n\n\n\nQuestions?
