TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) - Gov. Katie Hobbs visited the Arizona State Veterans Home in Tucson to discuss a new initiative aimed at supporting veterans.

During her visit, Hobbs held a roundtable with veterans to focus on the Homes for Heroes initiative.

"Arizona is home to more than half a million veterans and we want to make sure they have a place that is home like for them no matter where they're at in their life and this is one great example of that," said Hobbs.

The initiative aims to end homelessness for veterans within the next decade.

Hobbs' visit coincided with Purple Heart Day. During the event, she presented a challenge coin to each veteran present.
