Plans to build the nation’s largest housing community with support services for veterans and their families took another step forward with the groundbreaking of two more developments that will add another 87 housing units on the West Los Angeles VA North Campus.
The groundbreaking on Friday, May 31, was for a 49-unit building being developed by Century Housing, as well as a 38-unit building intended primarily for female veterans and their children that’s being developed by U.S.VETS, a nonprofit. Once complete, the 80-plus acres that make up the West L.A. VA North Campus will be home to the largest veteran housing development in the U.S., at a price tag of more than $1.4 billion.
The latest groundbreaking “signifies the increased momentum in development of housing and helps solidify the ongoing transformation of the West LA VA campus for those who have previously served our country,” U.S.VETS chief executive Steve Peck said in a statement.
