Two Hays County veterans programs were presented with grant funding from the Texas Veterans Commission on Wednesday.
TVC presented “big checks” to 32 programs from across Central Texas, including the Hays County Veterans Service Office and Hays County Veterans Treatment Court, at a ceremony inside the Hays County Government Center. TVC offers grants in five different categories — general assistance, housing for Texas heroes, veteran mental health grant, veteran treatment courts and veteran county service offices funding. TVC has awarded $168 million in grant funding to nonprofit and local government organizations between 2009 and 2020.
“Let us remember that everyone is charged with the responsibility of caring for those who serve,” Texas Veterans Commission Chairwoman Laura Koerner said. “We recognize now more than ever how critical it is to help our veterans and their families in Texas. Therefore, I want to sincerely thank each of our award recipients for the services that you provide for our veterans and their families.”
