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

The Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration awarded Pisgah Legal Services a $500,000 Project Grant effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, under the Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness Grant Program (CFDA 64.056). The grant funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness in North Carolina. Pisgah Legal Services will provide direct legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy across multiple practice domains including housing law, family law, income support, criminal defense, healthcare access, military discharge upgrades, consumer law, and employment law designed to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing.

As a condition of the award, Pisgah Legal Services must provide at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of grant funds to serve women veterans. The organization is required to maintain records for seven years and may be subject to federal audit by the Office of Business Oversight. This award is part of a broader federal investment in legal service delivery to homeless and at-risk veterans, with the Veterans Health Administration awarding approximately 60 project grants under this program for the same performance period.
