Funds keep North Dakota Veterans' Home running
The law provides $27.1 million to run the North Dakota Veterans' Home from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. It includes $20.58 million for salaries and wages, $6.06 million for operating costs, and $407,252 for capital assets. The funding comes from $6.22 million in the general fund and $20.83 million from other funds. It supports 114.79 full‑time equivalent positions. This keeps care and services for residents and staffing in place during the biennium.
Housing stipend for veterans' home administrator
The law pays the Veterans' Home administrator a $2,000 monthly housing stipend. It helps cover housing off the Veterans' Home campus during the 2025–2027 biennium. The payments are funded by $48,000 from the Soldiers’ Home Fund within the other‑funds appropriation. This is a direct boost to the administrator’s household budget.
