Veterans Affairs has awarded the state of California about $65 million to continue construction of three veterans’ facilities and renovation on a fourth, according to a May 23 VA release. Some $55 million in grants will go toward construction in West Los Angeles for a 396-bed state veteran nursing home and two 60-bed veteran domiciles and adult health care facilities, one in Ventura and one in Lancaster.
The Air Force plans to conduct more intensive training—and Congress is set to help by boosting funding for exercises and so-called “campaigning” by hundreds of millions of dollars, particularly in the Pacific.
