Year four funds authorized for this grantee for FY 26

Veterans Community Project Inc. received $748,663 in year-four funding effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055). This Project Grant supports community-based suicide prevention services designed to reduce veteran suicide by providing outreach, suicide prevention counseling, case management, peer support, and linkage to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and community resources for veterans and their families at risk of suicide who are not currently engaged with VA healthcare.

The funded services address critical gaps in suicide prevention by reaching eligible individuals—veterans and certain active-duty service members—outside traditional VA healthcare pathways. Veterans Community Project Inc., a Kansas City, Missouri-based nonprofit organization, has been a sustained recipient of Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program funding since at least September 2022. The organization delivers non-clinical suicide prevention services including community outreach, mental health screening, emergency clinical service referrals, and connections to VA and community benefits, with explicit focus on improving the mental health status, well-being, and social support of at-risk veteran populations in Missouri.
