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

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration awarded Nevada Legal Services, Inc. $499,648.25 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 the delivery of comprehensive legal services to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in Nevada. Nevada Legal Services, Inc. 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. The organization is required to commit a minimum of 10 percent of awarded funds to serve women veterans and must provide at least four types of legal services during the performance period.

The grant directly supports the VA's objective to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and successful reintegration into civilian life. By providing targeted legal assistance addressing the top unmet legal needs of homeless and at-risk veterans, Nevada Legal Services, Inc. will help eligible veterans overcome legal obstacles that create barriers to obtaining and maintaining permanent housing. The organization, a tax-exempt nonprofit headquartered in Las Vegas and registered in SAM.gov since 2004, has demonstrated expertise in serving vulnerable populations including veterans, low-income individuals, and Native American communities throughout Nevada.
