Traverse City Cadillac, MI, October 19, 2026 —
The Traverse Bay Children’s Advocacy Center is set to receive 30.5% less federal Victims of Crime Act funding in fiscal year 2027, a reduction that will lower its overall budget and challenge its operational capacity and service delivery.
The center is located in Traverse City and serves multiple counties in the region. The number and names of those counties were not provided. The information available does not specify the dollar amount of the expected funding decrease or the center’s total budget.
The anticipated reduction is tied to federal Victims of Crime Act funding. No further details were provided about the funding decision, its timing beyond fiscal year 2027, or whether other sources of funding may change. The center’s planned response to the budget reduction was also not stated.
The available information does not identify which operations or services may be affected, or describe how the center’s capacity could change. It therefore remains unclear what specific effects the reduced funding could have on service delivery across the counties it serves.
The 30.5% figure refers to the decrease in the center’s federal Victims of Crime Act funding, while the summary also reports an overall budget reduction. It does not provide a separate percentage or amount for that broader budget change. Additional details about the center’s fiscal year 2027 budget, service plans and funding sources were not provided.
