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

Federal Grant Award Summary

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) awarded Atlanta Legal Aid Society, Inc. a Project Grant totaling $326,454 under 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. The award funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness in Georgia. Atlanta Legal Aid Society 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.

The funded services are designed to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent eligible veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing. As a grantee under this program, Atlanta Legal Aid Society must provide at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of grant funds to serve women veterans. The grant supports the VHA's broader objective of helping eligible veterans overcome legal obstacles that create barriers to housing stability and successful reintegration into civilian life by addressing the top unmet legal needs identified through the VA's community assessment processes.
