BALLSTON SPA — More than 68,000 female veterans live in New York state.

One in 16, or more than 4,200, of those women are reported homeless.

A transitional facility that will accommodate up to 10 homeless female veterans at a time will hold its ribbon-cutting ceremony later this month, with the first group of residents slated for a mid-July move-in.

Located at 1214 Route 50 in Ballston Spa, the Guardian House will provide a home for displaced female veterans from all branches of the U.S. military.

Operated by the non-profit Saratoga County Rural Preservation Co., the Guardian House will celebrate its opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2 p.m. June 23.
