Although LA has the largest number of homeless veterans in the US, veterans have struggled to find housing and shelter to meet their needs. A project is finally coming to fruition at a site in Brentwood that the VA has owned since 1887. Although gifted as a home for Civil War Veterans, the property... has been used for a variety of completely unrelated purposes, including UCLAโ€™s baseball stadium and a private K-12 school. At long last, housing for actual veterans is being built on the site ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ› 

Read the @npr article below to see why veterans are cautiously optimistic, but still feel more could and should be done.
