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

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) awarded Legal Action of Wisconsin, Inc. (doing business as Senior Law) a $500,000 Project Grant under 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 award funds comprehensive legal services delivery to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in Wisconsin. Legal Action of Wisconsin 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 grant supports Legal Action of Wisconsin's mission to address systemic legal barriers impeding housing stability and permanent housing achievement for vulnerable veteran populations. As a condition of the award, the organization must provide at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of grant funds to serve women veterans. The VHA distributed approximately $42 million across approximately 84 grants under this program for the two-year performance period, targeting the top unmet legal needs identified through the VA's Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and Networking Groups survey to help eligible veterans overcome legal obstacles to successful civilian reintegration.
