Washington,
Oct 16 -
Congressman Henry Cuellar announced today a $1,501,012 federal grant for the State Veterans’ Home in Floresville.
The award, granted by the Department of Veterans affairs, will defray the costs to replace the HVAC energy management control system, the water heating equipment, the nurse calling system, and the nurse’s stations.
“This grant will go a long way in improving the services provided to our veterans in Texas. Our veterans have given full measures of devotion, often sacrificing their time, their youth, and in some cases their health and life; it is our obligation to ensure veterans receive the assistance they deserve”, said Congressman Cuellar.
"Our veterans have more than earned our support," said Kevin Warren, Deputy Commissioner for Veterans Homes with the VLB. "We're thankful to be able to provide them with the best care anywhere at our Texas State Veterans Homes."
The money will also assist in the upgrade of the fire alarm system and to make renovations to the building’s kitchenettes and roof.
