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

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) awarded Legal Aid of Nebraska $231,579.82 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. This project grant funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in Nebraska. Legal Aid of Nebraska will provide direct legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy addressing critical unmet legal needs that create barriers to housing stability, including services in housing law, family law, income support, criminal defense, healthcare access, military discharge upgrades, consumer law, and employment law.

As a condition of the award, Legal Aid of Nebraska must provide at least four types of legal services and dedicate a minimum of 10 percent of grant funds to serve women veterans. The organization is required to maintain grant records for seven years and may be subject to federal audit by the Office of Business Oversight if annual federal expenditures exceed $750,000. This award is one of approximately 60 project grants distributed by the VHA under this program during the current funding cycle, reflecting the federal government's substantial commitment to addressing legal barriers that impede housing stability and successful reintegration for homeless and at-risk veterans.
