FY2028 Department Projects
July - August 2027
Peridot Remote Claims Station
There are no current DAV Chapters within reasonable traveling distance to provide in-person services to the tribal center in Peridot. The area is currently served by Chapter 8 (Mesa), Chapter 26 (Benson) and Department. The San Carlos Apache Reservation, with the tribal center located in Peridot, has a single state highway for access, and is over 2 ½ hours east of Phoenix. Peridot has available resources (cell service, Internet) and remote claims location may be in the PFC Michael A. Noline Community Center.

Colorado River Indian Tribes
Remote Claims Station
There are no current DAV Chapters within reasonable traveling distance to provide in-person services to the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) Library & Archives or the CRIT Administration Center. The area is currently served by Chapter 27 (Lake Havasu City). The Colorado River Indian Tribes recognized by the federal government are: the Mohave Tribe, the Chemehuevi Tribe, the Hopi Tribe, and the Navajo Tribe. The proposed locations are about 90 minutes from Lake Havasu City and just over 2 hours from Yuma.
June 2028
Maricopa Remote Claims Station
Consideration was given to establishing a remote claims service station in the Gila River Indian Community. In analyzing the location of the Gila River Indian Community, it may be served by Chapter 36 (Casa Grande) and Chapter 20 (Glendale). As a result, the most effective location is to place a remote claims station in the City of Maricopa, to the south, in close proximity to both the Gila River Indian Community and Ak-Chin Indian Community.
