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

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) awarded Rocky Mountain Veterans Advocacy Project, Inc. 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). The grant funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless in Colorado. Services provided include 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.

Rocky Mountain Veterans Advocacy Project, Inc., a Denver-based nonprofit and service-disabled veteran-owned organization, will utilize grant funds to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing. The organization is required to provide at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of funds to serve women veterans. The grant aligns with the VHA's broader initiative to address the top unmet legal needs identified through the Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and Networking Groups (CHALENG) survey, with the ultimate goal of helping eligible veterans overcome legal obstacles that create barriers to successful housing stability and reintegration into civilian life.
