In San Diego County, high school students, construction professionals and Boral Roofing have joined forces to provide affordable, permanent housing for homeless veterans. The Warrior Village Project, the brainchild of founder Mark Pilcher, is an inspirational endeavor that aims to take care of one of the most basic needs for veterans — housing. It’s also simultaneously introducing the building trade to its next generation of leaders.
“The Warrior Village Project is a collaboration of building industry associations, nonprofits serving veterans, high schools, colleges, and business and private donors as well as community volunteers working together to provide affordable housing for homeless veterans while training the next generation of homebuilders,” Pilcher said.
