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

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056) to Legal Aid Sonoma County, a non-profit organization based in Santa Rosa, California. The grant funding will be used to provide comprehensive legal services to eligible veterans who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. These services span critical legal areas such as housing, family law, income support, and criminal defense, with the goal of addressing systemic barriers to housing stability for the veteran population. Legal Aid Sonoma County has a history of delivering targeted legal interventions through federal grant awards, emphasizing strategies like tenant education, landlord negotiations, legal representation, and collaboration with local authorities to resolve housing-related issues. The project grant from the VA will support the organization's efforts to help veterans overcome legal challenges and maintain housing security.
