ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Governor Kathy Hochul announced on Wednesday up to $2 million in funding to expand mental health efforts among military veterans and uniformed personnel. The money will be awarded through the CARES UP initiative, which provides funding for personnel agencies and organizations to advance suicide prevention efforts and wellness programming.
“As Chair of the Veterans, Homeland Security, and Military Affairs Committee in the New York Senate — and as the wife of an Army veteran — I have witnessed firsthand the immense challenges our veterans face when they return home from deployment,” State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton said. “Governor Hochul’s call to action through this funding is an important step in addressing this crisis.”
