The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration is providing a $300,000 Project Grant award under the Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056) to the Northern Kentucky Legal Aid Society, Inc. (dba Legal Aid of the Bluegrass) to assist with the costs of providing critical legal services to eligible veterans and other participants. This award, effective August 1, 2024, will enable the non-profit organization to deliver comprehensive legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy across various civil and criminal matters, including housing, family law, income support, and criminal defense. The goal of the program is to address the legal challenges that impede veterans' housing stability and access to essential services. As a long-standing federal grant recipient, Legal Aid of the Bluegrass has a proven track record of collaborating with partners to provide holistic legal support to vulnerable populations, including veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of housing instability, across 33 counties in central and northern Kentucky.
