Federal Program Wants Foster Families for Disabled Veterans

This is definitely a program which qualified disabled veterans should be aware of and check out!

A "federal program that is new to Pennsylvania and will attempt to provide those veterans with family foster homes, said Teresa Stump-Klinger, medical foster home coordinator at the Lebanon VA Medical Center.

So far, about two-dozen veterans - including several from Berks County - who are served by the medical center have requested to be considered for the program."

"What's the cost? Veterans might pay a family or caregiver $2,000 to $3,000 a month - negotiable with the caregiver - to live with them. The amount that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will reimburse the veterans is determined case by case."
