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

Access The Law, a nonprofit legal services organization based in Eugene, Oregon, received a $417,136.58 Project Grant award from the Veterans Health Administration 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. The funding supports the delivery of comprehensive legal services to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless in Oregon.

Through this award, Access The Law 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. These legal services are designed to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing. The organization is required to maintain records for seven years and commit a minimum of 10 percent of grant funds to serve women veterans as part of the program's service delivery requirements.
