Renewing Kentucky’s Commitment to Our Veteran Workforce
During the 2024 Legislative Session, KY VALOR received an additional $1M to extend its work through June 30, 2026. There are currently more than 1,000 service members and spouses active in our recruitment pipeline. The transition timeline for active duty service members can take anywhere between 18 and 24 months, and this continued funding ensures that KY VALOR can continue to support their transition to civilian careers in the Commonwealth.
This renewed funding will be distributed through the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs (prior funding flowed through the Department for Local Governments). While KY VALOR has worked with the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs since its inception, this move formalizes the partnership to better serve Kentucky’s veteran job-seeking population and make our commonwealth even more military friendly.
