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 Aid of Wyoming a $500,000 Project Grant (CFDA 64.056: Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness Grant Program) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. The award supports the delivery of comprehensive legal services to eligible veterans experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness in Wyoming. Legal Aid of Wyoming will provide direct legal representation, advice, 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 is designed to address systemic legal barriers that impede housing stability and prevent veterans from achieving or maintaining permanent housing. As a requirement of the award, Legal Aid of Wyoming must provide at least four types of legal services and commit a minimum of 10 percent of grant funds to serve women veterans. The organization, headquartered in Cheyenne, is a nonprofit, tax-exempt entity with demonstrated experience delivering civil legal assistance to vulnerable populations across Wyoming, including veterans and low-income residents.
