VA awards New Hampshire more than $7 million in grant funding for infrastructure upgrades to state-operated Veteran nursing home

The grant will help New Hampshire complete an expansion of one of the main buildings at the facility in Tilton – the only Veterans’ Home in the state.

“VA’s ongoing support of State Veterans Homes reaffirms our commitment to providing Veterans at all stages of life with the care and dignity they have earned,” said VA Under Secretary for Health John Bartrum. “These funds will support much needed upgrades to New Hampshire’s 136-year-old facility and help ensure the comfort and safety of its residents.”

The funding is part of the construction and renovation grants awarded through the State Home Construction Grant Program. A collaboration between VA and state governments, this program supports construction and renovation of State Veterans Homes (SVHs) to provide affordable, long-term nursing and domiciliary care for Veterans and their spouses.

SVHs – which are owned, operated, and managed by state governments – are designed to enhance quality of life with a clean, caring, and dignified setting appropriate to the men and women who have served our country with honor. For more information about SVHs, including eligibility and locations, visit this webpage.

The New Hampshire Veterans Home is one of 172 state-operated domiciliary and nursing homes across all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
