| WASHINGTON, DC - Montana’s Congressman, Denny Rehberg, announced today the Montana Veterans Foundation has been awarded a $312,000 U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs grant to provide for a 12-bed transitional housing unit in Helena for homeless veterans, and to increase the overall quality of veterans services. “This award to the Montana Veterans Foundation will help them shelter more homeless veterans in need of a place to reside temporarily,” said Rehberg, a member of the Military Quality of Life Appropriations Subcommittee. “This funding will also help to ensure that more veterans find assistance when in search of shelter.” The Montana Veterans Foundation will use the funding to acquire and renovate a building at 1112 Leslie in Helena. “I strongly support the work of the Montana Veterans Foundation and the assistance they provide to the homeless veterans in our state,” Rehberg said. “I am pleased to announce their receipt of this generous award.” # # # |
