The St. Michael’s Veterans Center, together with Kansas City leaders and community members, broke ground on the final phase of a new housing development for military veterans.

The St. Michael’s Veterans Center’s affordable and permanent housing is geared toward veterans experiencing homelessness or living with a disability. The next phase will include 62 new apartment homes and is expected to open in late 2025.

“We were honored to gather together our public and private partners and the SMVC community to break ground as construction begins,” said St. Michael’s on its website. The project team included U.S. Bank, UMB Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority, the Housing Authority of Kansas City, Rosemann & Associates, and Yarco Property Management.
