HOPE for Heroes Act of 2025

The HOPE for Heroes Act of 2025 reauthorizes and modifies the Department of Veterans Affairs' suicide prevention grant program through 2030. It increases the maximum grant amount to $1 million per grantee and allows additional funding (up to $500,000 annually) based on the number of veterans completing intake for services. The bill requires grant recipients to coordinate with VA for care continuity, limits administrative spending to 30% of funds, and mandates training on the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) for providers and VA staff. This directly affects veterans at risk of suicide, grant-funded service providers, and VA medical centers coordinating care.
