Get in touch with these folks, they'll guide you.

PS from StatesideLegal: The state agencies that serve veterans (listed on the "Find Legal Help" directory as VSA) should have this information available to help local veteran families. Many states also offer property tax exemptions for low-income residents; civil legal aid providers (LSC in the "Find Legal Help" directory) may also have information or be able to help with those.
