Mayor Sylvester Turner announces a $2.3 million mental health grant for local veterans has been secured by the Mayor’s Office of Veterans Affairs. The Texas Veterans + Family Alliance Grant was awarded by the State of Texas Health and Human Services Commission and will fund valuable new programs and services for a community with one of the highest veteran populations in the U.S. The substantial grant also highlights the city’s initiatives, which target veterans, and the Meaningful Change campaign, which aims to end chronic homelessness. The goal of this project is to enhance the quality of life of veterans and their families by providing and coordinating mental health treatment and support services.
