Rick Scott Calls for $7.4 Million for State Veterans Homes

Gov. Rick Scott called for $7.4 million for three new state homes for veterans. One of the homes will be in St. Lucie County while the Cabinet needs to decide on the location for the other two.

Florida is the most military-friendly state in the nation and as a Navy veteran, it is incredibly important that we do all we can to help our veterans and their families, Scott said. My father was a member of the 82nd Airborne and we will never forget the selfless sacrifice all of our veterans have made to ensure we have the opportunity to live the American dream. I am proud that we are going to continue to support our heroes by adding new nursing homes and we will keep working each day to ensure all of our veterans have a great quality of life in Florida.
