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

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) awarded Atlanta Law Center, Inc. a $435,333.08 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 award funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness in Georgia. Atlanta Law Center 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. These services are designed to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing.

As a condition of the grant, Atlanta Law Center must provide at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of funds to serve women veterans. The organization will maintain records for seven years and remains subject to federal audit requirements under 2 CFR 200. This funding supports the VHA's strategic objective of helping eligible veterans overcome legal obstacles that create barriers to housing stability and successful reintegration into civilian life by addressing top unmet legal needs identified through the VA's Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and Networking Groups survey.
