WNY Female Veterans Live Auction

TRANSITIONAL HOUSING FOR WNY HOMELESS FEMALE VETERANS
Western New York – The Erie County American Legion Family is looking to locate a building to house our homeless female veterans and their children.
Our mission has been and always will be to support our Military and their families. The Legion Family has the opportunity to remodel a closed School. This will be the first shelter for Homeless Female Veterans in the Western New York area to provide a safe haven along with services that shall become the stepping stone to self-efficiency.
The property will be reconstructed enabling us to house 40 homeless female veterans with single and family units, day care rooms, cafeteria, residential & program space that will assist our veterans in acclimating back into society.
Our projected date for opening this facility is 2017, and so we are looking to the WNY community to help us raise funds.
