VA is providing funding to assist with the costs to provide legal services to eligible veterans and participants

Legal Services Alabama, Inc. received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration under the Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness Grant Program (CFDA 64.056), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. The award funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in Alabama, addressing systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and successful reintegration into civilian life.

Through this funding, Legal Services Alabama, Inc. will provide direct legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy across multiple practice domains including housing law, family law, income support, criminal defense, healthcare access, military discharge upgrades, consumer law, and employment law. As required by the grant program, the organization will provide at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of funds to serve women veterans. The grant supports Legal Services Alabama's mission to assist vulnerable populations, particularly veterans, by removing legal obstacles that create barriers to housing stability and permanent housing placement.
