The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (VA) awarded a $750,000 Project Grant under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055) to the Center For Veterans Issues, Inc. (CVI), a non-profit organization doing business as Homeless Veterans Project. The grant, effective from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, supports CVI's community-based suicide prevention efforts targeting veterans and their families in Wisconsin. Under this award, CVI will provide outreach, deliver suicide prevention services, and connect veterans and their loved ones to VA and community resources as outlined in 38 CFR Part 78 to address their mental health needs. CVI has extensive experience administering similar grants from the VA, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Department of Labor to deliver transitional and permanent housing, case management, job training, and employment assistance for homeless and at-risk veterans. This latest grant is part of the VA's broader initiative to prevent veteran suicide through local partnerships and comprehensive service delivery.
