ROCKET COMMUNITY FUND WORKING WITH BUILT FOR ZERO TO MAKE HOMELESSNESS “RARE AND BRIEF”

Freddie Tucker was one of the first veterans to move into 211 Glendale, a recently renovated facility in the small city of Highland Park offering permanent housing to veterans.

Managed by the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries, the facility was converted from shelter housing to permanent apartments through a combined $750,000 investment from the Rocket Community Fund and Home Depot Foundation. The project shows how transitional housing can be converted to help stop veteran homelessness and included 60 new apartments with kitchenettes and upgraded fixtures after opening last year.
