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) Veterans Health Administration awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Veterans Legal Services, Inc. on August 1, 2024 under the federal Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056). This grant funding will assist with the costs to provide comprehensive legal services to eligible veterans who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in Massachusetts. The grant aims to address critical legal challenges that impede veterans' housing stability and access to essential services, including legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy across civil and criminal matters such as housing, family law, income support, and criminal defense. The federal grant program consistently demonstrates robust funding, with awards typically ranging from $100,000 to $500,000 for 12-14 month performance periods.
