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) awarded a $281,678 Project Grant to Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, Inc. (TRLA) under the Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056). The funding will be used to assist with the costs of providing comprehensive legal services to eligible veterans and program participants who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.

The Legal Services for Veterans Grants program aims to address critical legal challenges that impede veterans' housing stability and access to essential services. TRLA, a non-profit legal aid organization, will use the grant to deliver legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy across various civil and criminal matters such as housing, family law, income support, and criminal defense. This grant award will enable TRLA to continue its efforts to help veterans overcome systemic barriers to housing stability and access essential services.
