Housing for families of hospitalized veterans planned
A national organization that offers free housing to family members whose loved ones are being treated at veterans’ hospitals will break ground on a new building in Boston next week.
Fisher House Boston will accommodate 20 families of patients at the West Roxbury VA Hospital. Scheduled to be finished next fall, the residence will have suites with a common kitchen, dining room, laundry, and library.
There are 42 Fisher Houses across the country serving 10,000 families, according to the Fisher House Foundation.
