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

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is providing a $150,000 Project Grant to the New York Legal Assistance Group Inc. (Nylag) to assist with the costs of providing legal services to eligible veterans and participants under the VA's Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056). The funding will enable Nylag, a leading civil legal services organization, to deliver free legal representation, advice, education, advocacy, and assistance to low-income veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness across a range of civil and criminal matters related to housing, family law, income support, criminal defense, and other issues impacting veterans' rights and access to critical services. Nylag has extensive experience providing prime and sub-recipient legal services to veterans, domestic violence victims, and older crime victims through federal grant funding.
