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 awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Legal Action of Wisconsin, Inc. (doing business as Senior Law), a non-profit organization based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This award is funded through the Legal Services for Veterans Grants program (CFDA 64.056), which provides funding to public and non-profit entities to deliver comprehensive legal services to veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.

Under this grant, Legal Action of Wisconsin will use the $300,000 in funding to provide legal representation, advice, education, and advocacy to eligible veterans across various civil and criminal matters, including housing, family law, income support, and criminal defense. The grant aims to address critical legal challenges that impede veterans' housing stability and access to essential services, with the goal of helping them overcome systemic barriers and improve their overall stability and access to justice. The grant period for this award is from August 1, 2024, to July 31, 2025.
