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

Veterans Legal Services, Inc. received a $500,000 Project Grant from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) 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 grant funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless in Massachusetts. Services provided include direct legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy across multiple practice areas 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 eligible veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing. Veterans Legal Services, Inc., a Boston-based nonprofit organization, is required to provide at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of grant funds to serve women veterans. The award represents sustained federal investment in removing legal obstacles that create barriers to successful reintegration into civilian life for this vulnerable veteran population.
