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

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to Veterans Legal Services, Inc. under the VA's Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056). This funding will assist with the costs of providing legal services to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness over a 12-month period. The grant aims to address unmet legal needs that create barriers to housing stability for this vulnerable population, including issues related to housing, family law, income support, criminal defense, and other areas impacting veterans' fundamental rights and access to critical services. The grant award was issued by the VA's Veterans Health Administration to support the delivery of legal representation, advice, education, advocacy, and assistance by the non-profit Veterans Legal Services organization.
