We recently partnered with ATK to renovate a single-family home owned by the Minnesota Council for Veterans (MACV). MACV provides comprehensive program and supportive services to homeless veterans in four primary focus areas: emergency assistance, housing, employment and civil legal concerns. Through their programs, MACV supports homeless veterans in structured, transitional housing, which provides more than shelter for these veterans. This program offers a home-like environment and assistance in coordinating other needs to develop a personal plan for total recovery. The home renovated by ATK will be used to house a homeless female veteran and her children. We are proud to be partnering with ATK to support our nation’s veterans!
