Released funds for year four of the grant program

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded National Veterans Transition Services, Inc. $614,790 on October 1, 2025, under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055) for the fourth year of funding, with performance through September 30, 2026, in California.

The grant funds community-based suicide prevention services to veterans and their families, including outreach, suicide prevention programming, and connection to VA and community resources. National Veterans Transition Services, Inc. operates REBOOT Workshops, a transition support initiative that assists veterans, service members, and their families in reintegrating into communities and improving financial stability and mental health outcomes following military service. The organization coordinates across sectors with partners including Vets' Community Connections and the San Diego Military Family Collaborative to deliver services in San Diego County and surrounding areas.

The Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program aims to reduce veteran suicide by expanding prevention services through eligible entities. The program prioritizes awards to organizations serving high-need populations, including rural communities, tribal lands, medically underserved areas, areas with high concentrations of minority or women veterans, and regions with elevated Veterans Crisis Line call volume. Grantees must spend all awarded funds within one year and maintain records for seven years. All awarded entities undergo audit by the VA Office of Business Oversight at least once during a three-year period.
