New Jersey American Legion breaks ground on next phase of Veterans Housing initiative

New Jersey American Legion Post 107 hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for 18 new housing units for homeless and at-risk veterans. This is the newest phase of a project that started in 2012, when the original post home was heavily damaged by Superstorm Sandy. Rather than just rebuilding their post, members crafted a rebuilding plan that included six fully furnished apartments for homeless veterans. The success of that original project has prompted more post home renovations and rebuilds across the state to provide veteran housing and services.
