Modular Apartments in Philadelphia Could Be 'Model' for Combating Veteran Homelessness, Builders...

As the Department of Veterans Affairs continues a push toward eliminating homelessness among the nation's veterans, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit is opening an apartment complex it hopes will serve as a model for sheltering former service members.

A 47-unit garden apartment complex known as Veterans Village is set to open in the coming weeks in the city's Frankford neighborhood, providing affordable housing to veterans who have recently left the service or are in emergency shelters or temporary housing.
