Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Dari Taylor (Labour). It was answered by Lord Beamish (Labour) on Monday, 12 January 2009 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Veterans (Homelessness)
- Question
- What recent steps he has taken to provide support for veterans who become homeless.
- Answer
-
We have introduced a number of measures that will make it easier for our service personnel to access social housing, become home owners and occupy void MOD properties as an interim measure before leaving service. Following the successful launch of Mike Jackson house, a 25-bed unit in Aldershot, we aim to gift land in Catterick for a similar project. It will offer more veterans short-term housing while they plan their return to independent living.
