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

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA), under the Department of Veterans Affairs, awarded Lone Star Legal Aid $500,000 through 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. This Project Grant funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness in Texas. Lone Star Legal Aid 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.

The award is designed to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing. As a condition of the grant, Lone Star Legal Aid must provide at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of funds to serve women veterans. The organization will maintain records for seven years and may be subject to federal audit by the Office of Business Oversight if annual federal expenditures exceed $750,000. This award is part of a broader federal investment of approximately $42 million distributed across approximately 84 grants nationally under the 2025-2027 funding cycle.
