In 2015, the state budget included $9.2 million for a new veterans state home in Yuma.
In 2017, $10 million was designated to build a state home in Flagstaff.
However, construction is stalled on both projects because this state funding makes up only 35 percent of total costs. The rest of the tab must be picked up by the U.S. Department for Veterans Affairs and the federal funding has proven difficult to secure.
Now, the Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services has asked for $13 million more in their proposed 2018 budget for funding of another veterans state home in Mohave County.
