February 22, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — Today the Colorado Congressional Delegation sent a letter to VA Secretary Eric Shinseki seeking support and funding to build a new 20-bed stand-alone Fisher House near the new VA Medical Center at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora.
The Fisher House will provide on-site residential housing facilities for families of active duty and veteran patients receiving care at the VA Medical Center.
The delegation stated in their letter, “construction of a new VA Medical Center in Aurora, Colorado, is the fulfillment of this nation’s long-standing commitment to our Colorado veterans and their families. That commitment also extends to the families of our active duty service members, as well as veterans. …. We urge your support for this project and the acceleration of the construction schedule to ensure that the Fisher House will be ready to serve the families of those who served this nation with honor.”
Over the years, Fisher Houses across the world have provided free short-term residential housing services to over 10,000 families at a savings to the families of veterans and service members of over hundreds of millions of dollars.
