Tunnel to Towers Expands Veterans Villages to More Than a Dozen Cities

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is in the process of opening four new Veterans Villages as part of an aggressive expansion with the aim of creating housing for homeless veterans in a total of more than a dozen cities nationwide by 2026.

Tunnel to Towers broke ground on its newest Veterans Village in Denver, Colorado, on Nov. 7, 2024, where the foundation said it will renovate a hotel into 120 units of single-occupancy affordable housing for veterans following groundbreakings of Veterans Villages in Buffalo, New York, Detroit, Michigan, and North Charleston, South Carolina. These four projects will create over 400 homes for veterans in these metro areas.

The rapid expansion represents a dramatic scaling of a program that launched just two years ago.

From Concept to National Program
In 2023, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation launched its Homeless Veteran Program with the ambitious mission to eradicate veteran homelessness nationwide. It has since provided housing assistance and services to more than 6,500 veterans.

The program started with a simple premise: Veterans who served the country should not be homeless in it. What began with a few facilities has grown into a network spanning the country, from California to New York, from Texas to Michigan.

"This Veterans Day, we honor those who served by extending a hand to those who have struggled since they returned home," said Frank Siller, Tunnel to Towers CEO and chairman, in a press release. "The Tunnel to Towers Foundation wants to deliver a clear message: that you have not been forgotten, and we will not stop until every veteran who served this country is off its streets."

Tunnel to Towers didn’t immediately reply to an interview request.
