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

Tacomaprobono Community Lawyers, a nonprofit legal services organization based in Tacoma, Washington, received a $500,000 Project Grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration under the Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness Grant Program (CFDA 64.056). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, supports the delivery of comprehensive legal services to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in the Tacoma-Pierce County area.

Under this grant, Tacomaprobono Community Lawyers provides 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. These services are designed to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing. The organization is required to provide a minimum of four types of legal services and dedicate at least 10 percent of grant funds to serve women veterans, consistent with federal program requirements.
