New City NY -
Many veterans return from service with both physical
and mental challenges. Since our veterans have given
so much to our nation, it is not only our duty but
also our responsibility to provide for those who
have sacrificed so much for us. The Homes for Heroes
project was envisioned to give veterans, who have
multiple special needs, homes like everyone else.
An inspired design will permit a level of privacy
and connection to the community not easily
accomplished. Each building will have four
independent apartments, while each apartment will
have a private entrance. The porches will all front
on a mews to encourage interaction between residents
and help build a sense of community. The units will
also have a connection to Western Highway, not
directly fronting on this residential road, but not
turning away either. Becoming part of the community
again is sometimes a long and difficult road. This
design will make that transition easier.
Our Homes of our Heroes will be fully
accessible. Veterans who may have physical and/or
mental disabilities need a barrier free dwelling.
Support services will add an important component to
secure a successful housing development.
