WA breaks ground on first emergency accommodation for veterans

Construction on Western Australia's first emergency accommodation for veterans at risk of homelessness is now underway.

Once completed, the $10 million dollar development in Cannington will provide 16 purpose-built units for WA veterans doing it tough as well as tailored wrap-around services to assist with the transition to civilian life.

The State Government helped get the initiative off the ground with a $5 million Lotterywest grant plus more than $530,000 through the ANZAC Day Trust.
