Legal Services for Veterans Programs

**The VA Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness (LSV-H) Grant FY26 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) closed July 7, 2025.** Please note that the availability of legal services provided by each grantee is subject to certain limitations, including their experience and available resources. While these organizations strive to offer a wide range of legal services, not every grantee may be able to provide the specific legal services requested by eligible Veterans. For example, if a grantee’s entry on this list may note that it provides services in the area of Housing Law, that grantee may be able to provide one type of Housing Law service (e.g., eviction defense in state court) but not another (e.g., pursuing a claim of housing discrimination in Federal court). We encourage individuals seeking legal assistance to inquire about the services available with their selected grantee to ensure compatibility with their needs. * * * Veterans who are homeless or at risk for homelessness often face legal issues that make it difficult for them to obtain or maintain stable housing. The Legal Services for Veterans (LSV) program aims to increase access to legal services to eligible Veterans through the award of grant funds and by promoting Medical Legal Partnerships and VA-affiliated legal clinics throughout the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). LSV is a component of the [Veterans Justice Programs](https://www.va.gov/homeless/vjo.asp) (VJP) within the VHA Homeless Programs Office. The new Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness Grants (LSV-H) will enable VA to deliver legal services to these Veterans. Legal services – particularly civil legal services that support accessing government benefits, navigating family law, ensuring access to safe housing, and assisting with debt – can all be critical to resolving or preventing homelessness. **[View the LSV-H Final Rule](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/11/13/2024-25964/legal-services-for-homeless-veterans-and-veterans-at-risk-for-homelessness-grant-program).** In alignment with the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness’s goal to End Veteran Homelessness, this grant program will assist in furthering access to legal services for Veterans. LSV-H is authorized under sections 4202 & 5105 of the Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D., Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020 (P.L. 116-315), signed into law on January 5, 2021. LSV-H is further codified in 38 U.S.C. 2022A.
