Season 2 Episode 2: Legal Services for Veterans
“What we’ve learned over more than a decade is that the top ten unmet needs of our veterans experiencing homelessness are those unmet legal needs. And after years of advocacy, legislation was passed that allowed for the creation of the Legal Services for Veterans program.”
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. Thanks to the VA’s Legal Services for Veterans program, these needs are now being met in unique and effective ways. Butch sits down with the program’s national coordinator Madolyn Gingell to talk about how veterans can access legal support and the new grant program that is empowering local legal providers to assist.
