AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas Veterans Commission has awarded a $150,000 one-year grant to Hope For The Warriors to support programs serving post-9/11 veterans, service members and their families in Texas.
The funding will help cover operational costs, with a focus on assisting those facing critical and limited financial needs, according to the organizations.
The nonprofit, which is celebrating 20 years of service, provides support ranging from emergency financial assistance and career coaching to mental health services, peer support and community-based programs.
The grant will be used to provide direct financial assistance to military families in Texas, including help with housing costs such as rent or mortgage payments, utilities and food, as well as transportation to medical and mental health appointments.
Each year, more military families are turning to us for help meeting urgent financial needs,” said Robin Kelleher, co-founder and CEO of Hope For The Warriors. “Thanks to the support of the Texas Veterans Commission, we can continue easing the burden on Texas veterans and service members by helping them stay housed, fed, and connected to essential care.
The Texas Veterans Commission said that for the July 1, 2025 to Aug. 31, 2026 grant cycle, it awarded 213 grants totaling $46,315,000. Those funds are projected to provide direct services to 40,000 veterans, their dependents and surviving spouses.
This marks the fourth grant awarded to Hope For The Warriors from the Texas Veterans Commission to assist military families in Texas, bringing the total funding to $619,269.45.
