Utah is among 35 states getting a cut of $36.7 million in Department of Veterans Affairs grants that will help create 1,526 beds for homeless veterans, the VA announced Tuesday.
Utah's share will be $113,607 to be used by the Homeless Veterans Fellowship in Ogden, adding eight beds in a new building for homeless vets in that area.
"The fact that the HVF was selected as one of the grant recipients is a testament to the great work they have been doing for many years helping veterans who have fallen on hard times," said Terry Schow, executive director for the VA in Utah.
