The United States Senate recently voted to approve a transfer of approximately 20 acres of Fort Bragg land to the state of North Carolina to build a new Veterans home in Fayetteville.
“North Carolina boasts the fourth-largest military presence in the nation and is the proud home to more than 600,000 military veterans. These brave men and women put their lives on the line to defend our country and our freedoms, and our commitment to them must not end when their service does. This new facility will give veterans a home with access to the care they need. I thank our Congressional delegation for their leadership in securing this land transfer,” shared Governor Hosh Stein in a press release.
The former Fayetteville State Veterans Home closed in February 2024 after structural deficiencies and repair needs were identified, several related to water damage. When the 150-bed facility closed, 85 aging veterans in residence, including many with dementia and other disabilities, were displaced. As a result, family members struggled to find suitable living accommodation that met their relative’s health and care needs.
