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 a $300,000 Project Grant to Brooklyn Legal Services, Inc., a non-profit organization in New York, to provide legal services to eligible veterans and participants under the Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056). This federal grant funding will assist with the costs of delivering comprehensive legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy to veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. Services may include addressing legal challenges related to housing, family law, income support, and criminal defense, with the goal of improving veterans' housing stability and access to essential services. Brooklyn Legal Services has demonstrated expertise in delivering targeted legal interventions to low-income individuals, veterans, elderly populations, and other marginalized communities through strategic federal grant-funded programs.
