Haven for Hope was thrilled to help Texas Veterans Commission kick off The Commissioners' Grants Across Texas Tour by serving as host for the first Big Check Event last week, as $6,187,000 in grant funds were awarded across 16 grantees in Region 3.
Dr. Byron C. Hepburn, Haven Board Member and Retired US Air Force Major General, warmly welcomed fellow grantees and special guests to Haven's Chapel before introducing TVC Commission Chair, Laura Koerner.
David Maldonado, Veterans Program Director, graciously accepted Haven's own "Big Check" on behalf of the Veteran Services Team.
Haven is honored to be a first-time recipient of Texas Veterans Commission grant funding, which will go towards providing housing and transportation to homeless veterans enrolled on Haven's campus.
