The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded $750,000 to Veterans Inc. on October 1, 2025, under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055). This funding represents year four of the grant program, with a period of performance through September 30, 2026.

Veterans Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, delivers suicide prevention services for veterans and their families in Massachusetts through outreach, suicide prevention counseling, and connection to VA and community resources. The grant program funds community-based suicide prevention efforts designed to reduce veteran suicide by expanding prevention services to eligible individuals and their families across areas with high suicide risk, including rural communities, tribal lands, medically underserved areas, and regions with high concentrations of minority or women veterans.

The award is a Project Grant with a one-year spending requirement. Veterans Inc. operates across multiple states and has established experience administering similar veteran support programs, including emergency residential services, housing stability assistance, employment training, and substance abuse treatment. The organization will maintain grant records for seven years and is subject to audit by the VA Office of Business Oversight at least once over a three-year period.
