These grants bring the number of community-based beds to more than 10,000, provided by public and community non-profit and faith-based organizations with VA funding in 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
The 2006 edition of Federal Benefits for Veterans and Dependents is available on-line in portable document format (PDF) and as a series of Web pages at http://www.va.gov/opa/vadocs/current_benefits.asp.
