Home at Last Campaign

Posted by Douglas Porter

At Tuesday, December 7th's Putnam Rotary Club meeting, we had the honor to hear from two local veterans discuss their efforts to build a facility for homeless veterans of Eastern Connecticut (photo from the Norwich Bulletin). The LaFlamme-Kusek American Legion Post #15 is proposing to restore and reuse its existing building in Jewett City into 18 permanent supportive housing units. These apartments are the first of their kind in a rural setting.

The Home at Last Capital Campaign's goal is to raise $760,000 to complete this project. Donations can be made to the TALVHI Project c/o American Legion Post #15, 7 South Main Street, Jewett City, CT 06351. More information is available on their website, al-veteranshousing.org.
