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

Idaho Legal Aid Services Inc. received a $317,053.26 Project Grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration under the Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness Grant Program (CFDA 64.056). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness in Idaho.

Through this grant, Idaho Legal Aid Services Inc. 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. The organization is required to provide a minimum of four types of legal services and commit at least 10 percent of funded activities to serve women veterans. The grant is designed to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent eligible veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing by addressing the top unmet legal needs identified through the Department of Veterans Affairs' Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and Networking Groups survey.
