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

The Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration awarded Kansas Legal Services Inc. a $410,903 Project Grant 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 Kansas. Kansas Legal 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 grant is designed to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing. As a condition of the award, Kansas Legal Services Inc. must provide at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of funds to serve women veterans. The organization, a nonprofit legal services provider headquartered in Topeka, Kansas, has demonstrated substantial experience delivering targeted legal services to vulnerable populations through multiple federal grant-funded programs and will maintain required records for seven years following the award period.
