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

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA), under the Department of Veterans Affairs, awarded Inner City Law Center a $500,000 Project Grant effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, under the Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness Grant Program (CFDA 64.056). Inner City Law Center will provide comprehensive legal services to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness in California, delivering 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.

The funded services are designed to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing. As a condition of the award, Inner City Law Center must provide at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of grant funds to serve women veterans. The organization, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit specializing in legal assistance to vulnerable populations, will maintain records for seven years and is subject to federal audit requirements in accordance with 2 CFR 200.
