WASHINGTON – The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded a grant for nearly $3.4 million to Oklahoma for renovations to the Oklahoma Veterans Center, a comprehensive health care facility in Norman.
“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 home for veterans in a time of great personal need.”
The grant will pay up to 65 percent of the cost to make safety improvements at the nursing care facility. The overall cost of the project is approximately $5.2 million.
The veterans home in Norman is a 301-bed facility that provides medical, nursing and rehabilitative services to eligible Oklahoma veterans.
