to complete the development.<\/p>\n<p>Gosport's MP Caroline Dinenage, who officially opened the building, stated: &quot;For so long we have expected our armed forces to give up so much for us and I'm not sure that we have done enough to help them out as well.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>She noted there is a growing problem with homelessness in armed forces members and so schemes such as these can seek to offer
