"By investing in local partners and organizations, these FVA grants bring strength and stability directly to veterans and their families – turning community care into life-changing impact," she said.
The FVA grant recipients include a variety of organizations providing services such as housing assistance, financial aid, peer support, counseling, and more.

In May of this year, Governor Abbott announced a record-breaking $46.3 million in grants to over 200 organizations across Texas. This is projected to provide direct services to nearly 40,000 veterans, their dependents, and surviving spouses.
Since 2009, more than $359 million in grant funding has been awarded through over 1,600 FVA grants. These grants support a wide range of services including emergency financial assistance, transportation, legal services, family support services, and more. The TVC awards grants in five categories: General Assistance, Housing for Texas Heroes, Veterans Mental Health Grants, Veterans Treatment Courts, and Veteran County Service Officers.
Funding for these grants is primarily generated by the Texas Lottery's games designated for veteran support. Additionally, people can donate when registering their vehicles or when getting a hunting or fishing license.
For veterans in need of assistance, the TVC website provides a list of organizations offering help in their area and how to contact them. This information can be found at https://tvc.texas.gov/fund.
