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

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) awarded One Stop Career Center of PR Inc. a $500,000 project grant effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, under the Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness Grant Program (CFDA 64.056). The awardee will provide comprehensive legal services to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness in Puerto Rico. Services include 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.

One Stop Career Center of PR Inc., a San Juan-based nonprofit organization with 22 years of experience serving vulnerable populations, is required to deliver at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of grant funds to serve women veterans. The grant funding is designed to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing. The awardee must maintain records for seven years and may be subject to federal audit through the Office of Business Oversight if annual federal expenditures exceed $750,000.
