Description
The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Legal Services for Homeless Veterans and Veterans At-Risk for Homelessness Grant Program (LSV-H) funds legal assistance to help Veterans obtain or maintain stable housing. It supports public and nonprofit private entities providing services to Veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. This is a legal-service delivery program, rather than a research funding opportunity.
LSV-H is administered through Veterans Justice Programs within the Veterans Health Administration’s Homeless Programs Office. Its focus includes civil legal needs involving safe housing, government benefits, family law, and debt, alongside other allowable services connected to housing stability. The program seeks to expand access to legal assistance as part of VA’s efforts to prevent and resolve Veteran homelessness.
