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

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has awarded the Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County, Inc., a Project Grant of $499,999.91 under the Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness Grant Program (CFDA 64.056) for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. The grant funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in Florida, with services addressing systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and successful reintegration into civilian life.

Under this award, the Legal Aid Society will provide 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. As a condition of the grant, the organization must provide at least four types of legal services and dedicate a minimum of 10 percent of funds to serve women veterans. The award aligns with the broader federal investment in legal service delivery for veterans, with the VHA awarding approximately 60 project grants nationally under this program, each ranging from approximately $200,000 to $500,000.
