Central Oregon Veterans Outreach is trying to provide housing for struggling veterans in the La Pine area. Chuck Hemingway with COVO says they're close to closing on a house: “We're working what we call our South County Veterans Housing Project. And the first step in it is to acquire a single family residence in the south County area, in La Pine that we can use to house either several male veterans or a veteran family.” They expect to close on the two bedroom house on January 9th and hopefully some veterans can move in soon after. Grant money from the Department of Housing and Urban Development help pay for the La Pine home.
