From media partner Doing It Local:
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held this week at Home for the Brave in Bridgeport, celebrating the completion of a major multi-million-dollar renovation aimed at expanding veteran housing and services. The approximately $3.7 million project added 11 new private veteran suites, a new elevator for full ADA accessibility, updated medical and counseling rooms, and a new outdoor courtyard and gathering space designed for therapeutic use and community events.Local and state officials joined staff, supporters, and veterans for the ceremony, praising the nonprofit’s continued commitment to helping formerly homeless veterans transition into stable, independent lives. The expansion allows Home for the Brave to serve more veterans at a time when housing insecurity remains a critical issue across Greater Bridgeport.
Our hearts are full following a truly memorable Grand Reopening for Homes for the Brave! It was a day filled with hope, inspiration, and community spirit.
We were honored to hear powerful stories from our former residents, highlighting the transformative impact of a safe home. A special thank you to Governor Ned Lamont and esteemed Connecticut Dignitaries for their insightful remarks and unwavering support for our Veterans. It was a privilege to showcase our beautiful new space in Bridgeport, CT, to all our wonderful attendees.
This expanded facility marks a significant milestone in our journey to help eradicate Veterans experiencing homelessness, and we are so excited for the positive contributions it will bring to the Bridgeport community. Your support means the world!
