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

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) awarded Georgia Legal Services Program, Inc. $222,945 through the Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness Grant Program (CFDA 64.056) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This Project Grant funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness in Georgia. Georgia Legal Services Program, Inc. will provide direct legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy across multiple practice areas including housing law, family law, income support, criminal defense, healthcare access, military discharge upgrades, consumer law, and employment law to address systemic legal barriers impeding housing stability.

The award requires Georgia Legal Services Program, Inc. to provide a minimum of four types of legal services and dedicate at least 10 percent of funded services to women veterans. The organization will target top unmet legal needs identified through the VA's Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and Networking Groups survey, with the goal of helping eligible veterans overcome legal obstacles that create barriers to housing stability and successful reintegration into civilian life. Grant administration includes maintaining records for seven years and potential federal audit oversight through the Office of Business Oversight.
