A former elementary school in Kentucky is being transformed into a home for homeless female veterans and their children.
Work on the former Clark County Trapp Elementary School began late last year, and it has a while to go before it is complete.
The building contains eight bedrooms that can accommodate as many as 35 people. Rooms can be arranged to accommodate a mother with children or single veterans sharing a room.
The transformation is being done by the group Lady Veterans Connect.
According to a 2010 Project Muse study, women veterans are three to four times more likely to be homeless than their civilian counterparts.
The new home is in the small Clark County community of Trapp, about 10 miles southeast of Winchester.
