The Veterans Community Project in Kansas City is taking serious steps to improve the lives of America’s war heroes. Thanks to generous donations from community members, they’ve built the Veterans Village, a collection of small houses that homeless veterans can live in for free.

The village includes 50 individual homes, each one about the size of a studio apartment. Occupants are provided with food and necessities, as well as a sense of privacy, security, and stability.

A nearby community centre, still under construction, will host classes and counseling aimed at helping veterans readjust to their lives and cope with trauma. #lovebeyondwalls #lovecenter
