Covid-19: isolation wing, air purification system, and visitor management system

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded a $10 million Project Grant to the North Carolina Department of Military & Veterans Affairs on July 29, 2021 under the Grants to States for Construction of State Home Facilities program (CFDA 64.005).

The funding will support the construction of an isolation wing, air purification system, and visitor management system at a state veterans home in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Grants to States for Construction of State Home Facilities program aims to assist states in acquiring, constructing, expanding, remodeling or altering state home facilities that provide domiciliary, nursing home or hospital care for veterans. This particular award will enhance the Raleigh state home's ability to care for veterans during public health emergencies by establishing isolated treatment areas and improving air quality and visitor screening processes.
