Chairwoman Koerner expressed her gratitude towards the award recipients for their dedication to serving veterans.

The FVA grant recipients and their services include transportation services, housing assistance, peer support services, financial assistance, clinical counseling, and more. Some notable recipients include Alamo Area Council of Governments receiving $250,000 for transportation services and Bexar County Commissioners Court receiving $425,000 for financial assistance.

In May of this year, Governor Abbott announced a record-breaking $46.3 million in grants to 175 organizations across Texas. This is projected to provide direct services to nearly 40,000 veterans, their dependents, and surviving spouses.

Since 2009 through the current 2025-2026 grant cycle, more than $359 million in grant funding has been awarded through more than 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. The funding for these grants is primarily generated by the Texas Lottery's games designated for veteran support. Additionally, people can also donate when registering their vehicles or when getting a hunting or fishing license.

For veterans in need of assistance, they can find organizations providing help in their area and how to contact them at tvc.texas.gov/fund. These grants are a testament to the state's commitment to supporting and honoring its veterans who have selflessly served our country.
