Veterans Civil Legal Needs will help with discharge status upgrades (leading to increased eligibility for veteran-specific services) and access to affordable housing, healthcare and benefits programs.
Community Legal Aid, Inc. (CLA) will work closely with the Northampton Veterans Affairs Medical Center to improve the health of Hampshire County’s veterans and their families by tackling their unmet health-harming legal needs. Under the partnership supported by the United Way funding, CLA will train VA medical providers to screen for legal needs, and CLA advocates will accept referrals for direct legal advocacy for veterans and establish a regular presence on-site at the VA to meet with veterans and staff.
