BACKGROUND: 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.
The GLAVC project consists of three veterans homes, which will function as one unit. These will be the veterans homes constructed in West Los Angeles, Lancaster, and Ventura.
