WEST LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The largest veteran housing development in the country broke ground Friday in West Los Angeles, a project dedicated to providing more homes and services for former military service members throughout the region.
“We are building a community here on the West L.A. VA campus for veterans,” U.S.VETS President and CEO Stephen Peck said. “So today, we are celebrating a grounding breaking of two buildings.”
More than $1 billion is committed in development funds, which includes the two new housing projects that will provide 87 homes for veterans. Once the development is completed, the 80-acre campus will feature 1,200 housing units, 100,000 square feet of new amenities and supportive services for more than 3,000 veterans and families.
