Almost all of the veterans who have been living at the state-run VA home in Little Rock have moved out.
Only five are still living there as of Monday, which means the VA is most likely going to shut the facility down in early November, as planned.
VA Director Cissy Rucker in July made the decision to close the home, which has been plagued with problems ranging from inefficient air conditioning to sewer backups.
As it stands, the VA does not have the money to build a new home or restore the old one.
The agency expects it will find new homes for the remaining veterans soon.
