								  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. |
