Manuel's Story

Vet facing homelessness

Manuel didn’t know where to turn. Winter was coming and his house was falling down. He didn’t have heat or electric. Manuel had served his country for years as a Marine, but now found himself unemployed and almost homeless.

 

A friend told him to call United Way’s 2-1-1 helpline. Directed to Hudson River Housing, Manuel not only found an apartment, but also job training and placement especially for veterans that’s funded by United Way’s MISSION UNITED™. He now loves where he’s living and has a great job — thanks to your support of United Way.
