Ending Veteran Homelessness in Manchester
“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.
- Manchester Mayor Ruais
Shaun, a Marine Corps veteran who was once homeless, and his daughter Hayden—who now calls him a superhero for helping fellow veterans.
On September 20, 2024, Mayor Jay Ruais announced his commitment to effectively end veteran homelessness in Manchester by 2026. A coalition of veteran service providers, landlords and the mayor’s office are aggressively tackling this initiative, moving dozens of unhoused veterans into permanent housing to date.
