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

Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, Inc. received a $500,000 Project Grant from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) under the Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness Grant Program (CFDA 64.056), awarded October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2027. This two-year award supports the delivery of comprehensive legal services to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness in the Oklahoma City area. The organization 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.

As a condition of the award, Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, Inc. is required to provide at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of grant funds to serve women veterans. The services are designed to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing, ultimately supporting successful reintegration into civilian life. The awardee must maintain grant records for seven years and is subject to federal audit requirements if annual federal expenditures exceed $750,000.
