Veterans Onestop Center of WNY Inc. received a $750,000 project grant award from the Veterans Health Administration under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055) effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. This is the organization's Year Four funding authorization under this program. The grant supports community-based suicide prevention services delivered to veterans and their families in the Western New York region, including outreach, suicide prevention counseling, mental health screening, case management, and linkage to Department of Veterans Affairs and community resources.

As a comprehensive resource hub serving veterans and their families, Veterans Onestop Center of WNY Inc. utilizes these funds to address critical needs within the veteran population, particularly suicide prevention and mental health support. The organization's suicide prevention services target eligible individuals—defined as veterans at risk of suicide—and their families, employing evidence-based and non-clinical approaches consistent with the program's objective to reduce veteran suicide by improving mental health status, well-being, and social support. This award demonstrates the Department of Veterans Affairs' continued confidence in the organization's ability to deliver critical veteran support services, building on its track record of managing federal grants totaling approximately $5.2 million since 2021.
