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

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a $150,000 Project Grant under the Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056) to Legal Services of Northern Virginia, Inc. (LSNV), a non-profit organization, to provide legal services to eligible veterans and participants. The funding will assist with the costs of LSNV delivering legal representation, advice, education, advocacy, and other assistance across civil and criminal matters related to housing, family law, income support, and other issues impacting veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This grant builds on LSNV's past federal awards, including Project Grants from the Department of Treasury and the Department of Criminal Justice Services, to offer legal aid and representation to low-income individuals and families, including veterans and victims of crime.
