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.
