There are so many people living in the United States without access to basic amenities. What’s even more dramatic is that many of the homeless people in the country are former soldiers and military staff who have served their country and risked their lives for it.
There are many different reasons why those who once defended our country by serving in the military ended up on the streets. Post-traumatic stress, inability to resume their normal lives after having experienced the realities of war, not being able to find work, bad economy and the list could go on forever.
The key is not trying to find an explanation to why they are homeless and how they got to this point. It’s much more effective to come up with solutions to actually help these men and women regain their dignity and their independence.
That’s exactly what an organization called Veterans Community project plan to do! For that, they are building tiny homes that will be given for free to those military men and women who need help.
The homes come equipped with all the amenities someone would need to live a comfortable life. In addition to offering vets a place to stay unconditionally, the project also caters to their emotional problems through free counseling sessions meant to help them reintegrate back into broader communities.
This way, the people who believe in this project hope to reduce the overall homeless population in the United States and give back to these vets who deserve our respect and our support.
