**Governor Lincoln Chafee, Providence Mayor Angel Taveras and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse will be among the dignitaries who gather Monday morning for the dedication of  Joyce House – an apartment building for homeless vets.  Rhode Island has roughly 270 homeless veterans, but has designated beds for only about a third of them.

Joyce House is a six-unit apartment building  on River Avenue in Providence – about a mile and a half from the Veterans Administration Medical Center.  Soon it will be home to a dozen homeless vets.  And not only will they have a roof over their heads in the form of freshly decorated apartments, they will get all the services they need.
