Earlier this month, we brought together business leaders and Mayor Jay Ruais to launch a powerful new initiative to end veteran homelessness in Manchester. Harbor Care President & CEO Henry Och and Mayor Ruais had announced the initiative at the NH Veteran Stand Down event. We were excited to share that, in just two shorts weeks, four homeless veterans had already been housed. Henry Och remarked, “Our early success in housing four veterans demonstrates the power of effective community collaboration and leadership.”

Ruais said, “Even one homeless military service member is too many. It’s only right we put a reliable roof over their heads given everything they have sacrificed for our country. We are making progress and changing lives.”
