The US Department of Veterans Affairs will realign an additional $800 million this fiscal year as part of the Veterans Health Administration's Non-Recurring Maintenance program, which makes infrastructure improvements to health care facilities to ensure safe and effective patient care.
The extra funding means more resources to repair and update aging VA facilities and technology.
The extra money will be spent on a variety of improvement projects at various VA health care facilities across the nation including the White City VA Medical Center where several projects will be funded.
The White City projects include renovating space in two buildings for Mental Health, preparing a new MRI site, replacing a Chiller, relocating equipment to the Mezzanine and abating ceilings in certain rooms.
The additional funds will come from savings gleaned from various VHA reform efforts. The additions will bring total program spending for Fiscal Year 2025 to $2.8 billion -- a nearly $500 million increase from Fiscal Year 2024.
