LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- USA Cares is honored to announce the
organization has been granted $2
million in funding from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This generous allocation will be
instrumental in providing financial hardship assistance to veterans
across Kentucky, ensuring those
who have served our country receive the support they need and
deserve.
The funding will be distributed to USA Cares over a two-year period that began on
July 5, 2024 and will conclude on
June 30, 2026. This significant
financial support has enabled USA
Cares to broaden its services to include pre-9/11 veterans.
Qualifying circumstances have also been expanded beyond essential
needs to include assistance for things like emergency car repairs
and veteran burial expenses.
Veterans living in Kentucky who
believe they may qualify for assistance are encouraged to apply
online at usacares.org/gethelp. Applicants are required to provide
proof of hardship and military service.
"We are deeply grateful to the Commonwealth of Kentucky for this significant investment in
our veterans," said Trace Chesser,
