The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to Legal Services of Northwest Jersey, Inc. (LSNWJ) under the VA's Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056). The funding will assist LSNWJ, a non-profit legal services organization, with the costs to provide comprehensive legal services to eligible veterans and participants who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The grant services include legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy across various civil and criminal matters such as housing, family law, income support, and criminal defense. This award is part of the VA's efforts to address the critical legal challenges that impede veterans' housing stability and access to essential services. The grant performance period is 12 months, beginning on August 1, 2024.
