Board of Directors
The ABRI/Homes for the Brave Board of Directors assists in achieving our mission and vision of providing the housing and services necessary to help homeless individuals, many of whom are Veterans return to a productive and meaningful life. Our board members are dedicated members of their communities and many of them are Veterans. They take an active role in supporting our events and becoming advocates for the Homes for the Brave in our local community. They meet monthly to review all new and ongoing projects.
