Veterans in need of housing support across
Scotland will be able to benefit from £1.94 million of government
funding.
On
20 March, Defence Minister Lord Astor visited Scotland to find out how Scottish
veterans will be able to benefit from funding for life-changing accommodation
initiatives provided by Houses for Heroes Scotland.
The
charity will use £1.94 million guaranteed through the Libor fines imposed
on banks towards building 38 special needs houses across 7 Scottish local
authorities to support younger disabled veterans with low-rented homes for
life.
These unique homes will provide a haven for veterans and
their families to ensure they are fully supported in their transition to
civilian life.
