Homeless veterans will begin moving into the new Valor House apartments on Monday if final agreements between Veterans Affairs and the Salt Lake City Housing Authority are inked as expected this week.
The $4.5 million Valor House, an innovative joint project that is being built to energy-efficient standards, has been under construction southwest of the George E. Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center since December 2011.
Valor House will be owned and operated by the housing authority, which will receive reimbursement for housing homeless veterans. The VA chipped in $2 million of the cost and is providing a 75-year land lease for $1 per year. Salt Lake Tribune
