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

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) awarded Texas Legal Services Center 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 grant funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in Texas. Texas Legal Services Center Inc., operating as Legal Hotline For Older Texans, will provide direct legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy addressing systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and permanent housing achievement.

The funded legal services encompass multiple practice domains including housing law, family law, income support, criminal defense, healthcare access, military discharge upgrades, consumer law, and employment law. As a requirement of the grant program, the organization must provide at least four types of legal services and dedicate a minimum of 10 percent of awarded funds to serve women veterans. This grant represents part of the VHA's broader investment in legal service delivery to homeless and at-risk veterans, with approximately 60 similar project grants ranging from $200,000 to $500,000 awarded nationally for the same performance period.
