Great Progress

Ground Breaking

It is a go Federal, State and Local and CCVHSF have agreed the ground breaking will be held on May 19, 2010 at 10AM at the site of the new Veterans Home. More news to come.

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs lists California as one of two states in “Great Need” for additional Veterans Homes. The State’s voters, Legislature, and Governors all recognized this critical need and responded. Enabling legislation (the Veterans Home Bond Act of 2000, AB 2559 [Wesson] of 2002, and AB 1077 [Wesson] of 2004) has made funds available to develop and construct new Veterans Homes in Lancaster, Ventura, West Los Angeles, Fresno, and Redding. These funds are the matching requirement to receive a grant from the USDVA State Home Grant Program which provides the majority of the project costs.

Fresno and Redding are both population and healthcare hubs of their underserved regions. The USDVA State Homes Grant Program has accepted grant applications for both Homes. The Legislature made sufficient funds available in 2004, but required that the funding for the Los Angeles area projects be assured before development of these projects can fully begin.
