AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded nearly $45 million in grants to fight veteran homelessness in Texas.

Ten organizations across the state received millions of dollars each to help veterans experiencing homelessness or on the verge of becoming homeless.

Several recipient organizations, such as Front Steps and Caritas of Austin, are local operations. Others like The Salvation Army and the American GI Forum National Veterans Outreach Program have local locations.

The funds will be dispersed throughout fiscal year 2026 to help the awarded organizations support veterans with housing, healthcare, financial planning, childcare, legal assistance and transportation.
