Year four funds authorized for this grantee for FY 26

Homeward Bound Adirondack received a $750,000 Project Grant award dated October 1, 2025, from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055). This represents year-four funding for the organization, which has maintained continuous federal support since fiscal year 2023. The grant supports community-based suicide prevention services targeting veterans and their families throughout New York who are at risk of suicide but may not be engaged with traditional VA healthcare.

Under this award, Homeward Bound Adirondack provides comprehensive suicide prevention services including outreach activities, mental health screening, suicide prevention counseling, case management, and coordination with VA healthcare systems and community partners. The organization's grant-funded services are designed to address critical prevention gaps by connecting at-risk veterans to VA resources and community support networks while improving mental health status, financial stability, and social support. As a prime grantee with no sub-contractor relationships, the organization delivers all funded services directly to eligible veterans and their families in the Adirondack region of New York.
