Released funds for year four of the grant program

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded United States Veterans Initiative (doing business as U.S.Vets) $350,000 under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055) on October 1, 2025, to support year four of the grant program. The award funds community-based suicide prevention efforts, including outreach, suicide prevention services, and connection to VA and community resources for veterans and their families. U.S.Vets, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that delivers emergency housing, transitional housing, case management, and supportive services to homeless and at-risk veterans, will operate the program in Nevada. The grant period runs through September 30, 2026. Under the program's structure, grantees must spend all awarded funds within one year and submit renewal applications annually; the VA conducts at least one audit per grantee over a three-year cycle, and grantees maintain records for seven years.
