MANCHESTER, NH – Three months after launching an initiative to effectively end homelessness in Manchester for retired military service members by January of 2026, Mayor Jay Ruais announced Monday a total of 16 homeless veterans have new places to call home.
“The success of this program is incredibly gratifying,” said Ruais “In three months, we’ve gotten 16 veterans into safe and stable housing – something they have all earned and deserve,” Ruais said.
Henry Och, CEO of Harbor Care, thanked Ruais for his leadership but added that success requires “buy in” from partners across the community. “Together, we succeed,” he said.
