Priority Outcomes for New York City Applicants
The Family Grants Supporting Veterans and Military Families Nationwide funding opportunity is geared towards supporting individuals and families connected to military service, veteran communities, and first responders in New York City. When evaluating grant applications from New York City, priority outcomes will focus on addressing the unique needs of the city's diverse veteran and military family populations.
New York City is home to a large and diverse population of veterans and military families, with many residing in areas such as Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Queens. The city's Department of Veterans' Services is actively working to support these individuals through various initiatives, including employment assistance, healthcare services, and housing support.

Target Outcomes for NYC Veterans and Military Families
The target outcomes for this grant in New York City will focus on improving the overall well-being and quality of life for veterans and military families. Specifically, the grant will prioritize projects that demonstrate potential for:
