Paul Galvin, Chairperson and CEO of Safe & Green Holdings, stated, "We are honored to partner with Soldier On in support of their mission to end homelessness among veterans, first responders, and others in need, in appreciation of their service. The first phase of this ambitious project includes the construction of a manufacturing facility, totaling 80,000 square feet, designed to be fully compliant with ADA standards. The planned manufacturing facility will employ veterans, to be recruited and referred by Soldier On, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as various other organizations, both nonprofit and for-profit. The second phase will involve the development of an 800-unit supportive housing complex. These units will be designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities and will be developed along with dedicated health and wellness services for veterans, first responders and others, as well as their families, as a means to will provide residents access to a range of support services to address their physical health, mental wellness and social connectivity. The supportive services component will be need-based will include but not be limited to individual and group counseling, 12-step programs, physical rehabilitation, general wellness, alternative therapies, and treatments designed to foster healing and growth. Both components will be located on a property in McClean, Oklahoma, owned by Safe & Green Development Corporation (Nasdaq:SGD) (“SG DevCo), which will act as the landlord for the project, while providing development assistance and oversight of the infrastructure, while partnering on fees, building oversight and ownership. Most importantly, this project will offer disabled veterans who served our nation an opportunity to work and produce within a wellness community, for self and others similarly situated, after their service to our nation--a continuation of their shared brotherhood.”

Key Points: 
  • Following the LOI, the parties intend to now form a formal joint venture and initiate the planning process.
  • Since 1994, Soldier On has been providing homeless veterans with transitional housing and supportive services.
  • In 2010, Soldier On opened the first Gordon H. Mansfield Veterans Community, a permanent housing cooperative that provides formerly homeless veterans with safe, sustainable, affordable housing – transitioning them from homelessness to homeownership.
  • This housing model will be replicated nationally as Soldier On continues to change the end of the story for homeless veterans throughout the country.
