23 nonprofits across AZ, CT, FL, GA, IL, MO, NJ, PA, TN and TX will help more than 4,700 veterans and their families access stable housing and community-based support

BLOOMFIELD, Conn., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 4,700 veterans and their families will gain access to community-based support through new grants from The Cigna Group Foundation, the philanthropic arm of The Cigna Group (NYSE:CI). The $3.45 million in funding will support 23 nonprofit organizations providing housing assistance, home builds and repairs, and other services designed to improve housing stability and veteran mental health.

Anthony, a resident of Veterans Community Project’s tiny home community in St. Louis, outside his home. Veterans Community Project is a recurring grantee partner of The Cigna Group Foundation, and The Cigna Group employees volunteer on home builds and repairs in the community.

The grants mark the third year of the Foundation's $9 million commitment to improve veteran mental health through housing stability and wraparound services. The initiative supports locally driven projects that increase access to permanent housing, make housing more affordable and connect veterans with services that can help them remain securely housed. In 2025, nonprofit grantees served 8,025 veterans, while more than 200 employees of The Cigna Group contributed over 1,000 volunteer hours to support those organizations.

"Stable housing gives veterans a stronger foundation to focus on their health, their families and their futures," said Sara Quist, president of The Cigna Group Foundation. "By supporting these trusted community-based organizations, we are proud to help more veterans gain a safe place to live, along with services and support that can strengthen their well-being for the long term."

This year's grants will support a range of housing and related services, including nearly 50 new home builds, repairs or modifications, as well as rental, mortgage and utility assistance; housing placement; benefits navigation; mental health services; employment support; and other wraparound services.
