Overview
The Fund for Veterans' Assistance (FVA) provides critical funding opportunities for organizations serving veterans through various programs. The Veterans County Service Officer (VCSO) Funding Opportunity, established by SB 1679, offers a competitive advantage for applications listing a VCSO as Project Coordinator. Eligible entities include local government units and certain nonprofit organizations, ensuring comprehensive support for veterans in Texas.
Every year, the Commission encourages eligible charitable organizations, local government agencies, and Veteran Service Organizations with veteran-specific programs and services to apply for grant funding during the application window. All applications must be timely submitted electronically through the Grants Portal (Fluxx).
SB 1679 (85th Legislature) created a 5% set-aside for Veteran County Service Officer (VCSO) applications in certain grant programs. This set-aside gives applications where the VCSO is listed as the Project Coordinator a competitive advantage in the application selection process. Funding is available for all service categories within the General Assistance, Housing for Texas Heroes, and Veterans Mental Health grant programs.
