WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs today announced $84 million in grants to 176 organizations across the country to help Veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
$42 million in grants will cover legal services and another $42 million in grants will go toward case management services to improve housing retention by Veterans who are at risk of becoming homeless or who were previously homeless and are transitioning to permanent housing.

- Assistance with landlord-tenant disputes to prevent eviction.
- Help with court proceedings for child support, custody, or estate planning.
- Help with obtaining benefits like state and federal compensation.
- Defending Veterans in criminal cases, such as outstanding warrants, fines, and driver’s license revocation.
