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

The United Houma Nation Inc., a tribal government organization in Louisiana, was awarded a $286,706 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration under the Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056). The grant, awarded on August 1, 2024, will fund the provision of legal services to eligible veterans and participants experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. The Legal Services for Veterans Grants program provides federal funding to public and non-profit entities to deliver comprehensive legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy across various civil and criminal matters, with the goal of addressing critical legal challenges that impede veterans' housing stability and access to essential services.
