ENTERPRISE – The Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs recently announced the recipients of the 2025-2027 biennium Veteran Services Grant program. As described by the department in a recent press release:
“The Legislature approved $972,653 for the Veteran Services Grant program for the 2025-27 biennium, which was first established following Oregon voters’ overwhelming support of Measure 96 in 2016 dedicating 1.5 percent of Lottery net proceeds to fund veteran services. ODVA received proposals from across Oregon totaling more than $3.6 million in requested funds. Of these, 16 organizations were selected to receive awards, which range from approximately $10,500 to $145,000 for the one-time grants.
The awards include projects and services focusing on veteran homelessness and housing insecurity, transportation access, education and training, employment opportunities, and other critical services in communities across the state. The grant awards will benefit veterans and their families living in rural, urban and Tribal communities.”
Among the recipients, the Wallowa Valley Center for Wellness, based in Enterprise, has been awarded $110,972 dollars. This is the third highest grant allocation for the biennium behind the American Military Encouragement Network and Housing our Veterans.
