VETERANS’ HOUSE, the Andy Carswell Building, is a housing community for veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The facility will provide supportive housing for 40 veterans. This latest Multifaith Housing Initiative (MHI) project is partnering with a number of agencies to offer mental health and addiction services, gathering spaces (including a communal kitchen and outdoor barbecue facilities), an indoor gym, and a dog park for service dogs.
MHI is four-fifths of the way to completing the fundraising for Veterans’ House, however there still remains 2.3 million dollars to finish the project. SOSA has set a goal of $8000 to support Veterans’ House. To donate, please contact the church office at (613) 820-8103 or office@bcuc.org.
