twitterGrant will help homeless veterans
Friday, Sept. 24, 1999 | 11:12 a.m.
One of 51 public and private nonprofit groups receiving grants from the Department of Veterans Affairs will spend its award to help the homeless veterans in Las Vegas.
Los Angeles Veterans Initiative Inc. has been awarded a grant of $380,085 for the renovation of Meadows Inn, 525 East Broadway Road to create transitional housing that will provide 118 beds for homeless veterans.
Awardees from 26 states and the District of Columbia will receive grants totaling about $15 million under the VA's homeless providers grant program.
The grants, ranging from $25,000 to nearly $1.5 million, will provide up to 65 percent of the cost of acquiring or renovating facilities that will be used for housing or service centers. Nearly 100 organizations applied for this year's VA grants.
