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

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has provided a $150,000 Project Grant to the Northwest Justice Project, a non-profit organization in Washington, through the VA's Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056). This funding will assist with the costs to provide legal services to eligible veterans and participants experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. The grant supports the delivery of legal representation, advice, education, advocacy, and assistance across various civil and criminal matters related to housing, family law, income support, criminal defense, and other issues impacting veterans' fundamental rights and access to critical services. As a subrecipient, the Northwest Justice Project has also received federal pass-through grants from Washington State's Department of Commerce to provide direct services to victims of crime and support legal services through its COVID Recovery Initiative.
