The competitively selected EUL lessee/developer, Freedom's Path Kerrville II, Limited Partnership, will finance, design, develop, renovate, construct, manage, maintain, and operate housing for eligible homeless veterans or veterans at risk of homelessness on a priority placement basis. In addition, the lessee/developer will be required to provide supportive services that guide veteran residents towards long-term independence and self-sufficiency.
