VA Awards Funds to Build Sixth Maine Veterans Home
August 2, 2004

WASHINGTON  The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded a grant of more than $6 million to the state of Maine to construct a new residential care facility for veterans at Machias, which will be Maine‘s sixth state veterans home.

     

“This grant reflects the federal-state partnership that is honoring our commitment to care for the men and women who have served in uniform,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony J. Principi.  “This partnership provides a comfortable setting for veterans in a time of great personal need.”

The award of $6.17 million will pay up to 65 percent of the cost to build the 30-bed domiciliary.  The overall cost of the project is nearly $9.5 million.  

Maine has five existing veterans’ homes in Augusta, Bangor, Caribou, Scarborough and South Paris.  They provide rehabilitation and skilled nursing care. 

Information about the state’s veterans’ homes can be obtained on the Internet at www.maineveteranshomes.org.
