Legal Services for Veterans - Legal Assistance for Access to VA Programs (LSV-A) Grant Program

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awards Legal Services for Veterans grants (CFDA 64.060) to nonprofit and public entities providing legal assistance to veterans and former service members seeking access to VA benefits.

The source provides no recent grant award data, portfolio composition, funding volumes, typical award magnitudes, or currently open grant opportunities. Without access to the grant award portfolio block or recent opportunities listing, the decision-relevant facts about program activity, recency, assistance-type distribution, and current solicitation status cannot be determined from this source. The program description confirms eligibility is limited to nonprofit and public entities and that awards fund 2-year grant cycles; all funding within each cycle must be spent. The VA Office of Business Oversight audits a sample of awards annually, and grantees must maintain records for three years or until all related claims, litigation, or audit findings are resolved. Renewal of funding is available under terms defined in the regulation and Notice of Funding Opportunity. Applicants whose proposals would have been selected but for VA procedural error may be reconsidered in the next funding round without reapplication, provided no material change occurs in the proposal information. Payment terms and procedures are specified in the NOFO upon posting on grants.gov.

To evaluate pursuit viability, obtain the current grant award portfolio, recent awards data, recent opportunities, and typical award ranges through direct outreach to the VA's legal services grants program office or through the Assistance Listing detail page on sam.gov.
