Synopsis
Ending and preventing homelessness among Veterans is a priority for VA. VA's Homeless Programs constitute the Nation's largest integrated
network of homeless treatment and assistance services for Veterans. The LSV-H Grant Program's purpose is to award legal services grants to eligible public or non-profit private entities who will provide legal services to eligible Veterans who are homeless or
at risk for homelessness. This NOFO will provide awards designed to address the
needs identified in 38 C.F.R. § 79.20, including legal services related to housing; family
law; income support; criminal defense; protective orders and other matters related to
domestic or intimate partner violence; access to health care; requests to upgrade military discharge or dismissal; consumer law, such as financial services, debt collection, garnishments, usury, fraud, and financial exploitation; employment law; and the top 10 unmet legal needs as enumerated on VA's annual Community
Homelessness Assessment, Local Education and Networking Groups (CHALENG) survey for the grant award cycle.
