Fund for Veterans' Assistance (FVA) - Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) Grants

The Fund for Veterans' Assistance (FVA) offers grants to local government courts to support Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) programs. These grants facilitate rehabilitation for justice-involved veterans, aiming to provide essential resources and a supportive environment. Eligible applicants include local governments and certain veteran service organizations. It is crucial for applicants to comply with all legal requirements and submit applications electronically through the Grants Portal. This initiative emphasizes community engagement and accountability for veterans.

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).
The Veteran Treatment Court Grant Program supports eligible local government courts to provide rehabilitation for justice-involved veterans with grant funding. Services are provided to veterans who must meet an obligation to themselves, the court, and their community.
Treatment courts offer support, resources, and an accountable environment for veterans involved with the criminal justice system.
Local Government Grants Awarded Yearly
The Fund for Veterans’ Assistance administers the Commission’s Veterans Treatment Court grants to local governments that operate a Treatment Court for veterans. Treatment courts must be certified by the Office of Court Administration to be eligible for grant funding.
