(Omaha, NE) -- More than one hundred veterans will have a new place to live in Omaha. The Dunham House is a project from Wounded Warriors, and has been cleared by the City Council.

Former Mayor Hal Daub is on the Dunham House Board of Directors.

"Their families are aging out to where they won't be alive to care for them," Daub says. "They generally have no other dependents or siblings to take care of them. And while the VA system from a medical care point of view is good, their living care is not provided."

The facility will be located on N. 60th Street and Craig Avenue, to the east of Omaha Country Club.

Larry Storm is a veteran.

"It's about time that organizations like this have a voice at the microphone," Storm says. "We haven't heard about our vets for a lot of years. And if anybody deserves a go at it, it would be this organization."

They will break ground on the project in March.
