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

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to the Rocky Mountain Veterans Advocacy Project, Inc. on August 1, 2023 under the VA's Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056). This funding will assist the non-profit organization with the costs of providing legal services to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness in Colorado. The legal services to be delivered include legal representation, advice, education, advocacy, and assistance across various civil and criminal matters related to housing, family law, income support, criminal defense, and other issues impacting veterans' fundamental rights and access to critical services. This grant award is part of the VA's broader efforts to address unmet legal needs that can create barriers to housing stability for this vulnerable population.
