This $150,000 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on August 1, 2023 under the VA Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056). The funding will be used by Empowerment Legal Services, a Veteran-owned non-profit organization, to provide legal services to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. 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 legal issues impacting veterans' rights and access to critical services. This award is part of the VA's $26.8 million in recent funding for 14-month grant projects nationwide to address unmet legal needs that create barriers to housing stability for vulnerable veteran populations.
