Wounded Veterans Housing

We have recently learned of a terrible situation as regards veterans permanently disabled by their wounds and how these disabilities are not being addressed in their homes with very little help available from the government or housing industry. Veterans advocates say that there are 259,000 people who now need specially built or modified housing that will provide support for these folks and help facilitate a more “normal” life.

“Universal Design” is the name for fully handicapped accessible homes and supplies the answer but very few governmental authorities are doing anything to encourage such construction and there is simply not sufficient profit for builders to privately create this housing.
