HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) – With hundreds of homeless people in Huntsville, many of them veterans, a group of young men are putting down the foundation to get more people off of the streets.“Any veteran that’s living in the woods, there’s something wrong with that,” said Rusty Loiselle. He is CEO of Help Our Homeless Veterans and Civilians, an organization that advocates for the homeless community.
The men of Phi Kappa Psi at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) agree with Louiselle’s statement. They have created an initiative to create a tiny home village somewhere in Huntsville.
Taylor Reed, president of the colony at the university, say they were inspired after they came across a homeless man at a Sonic fast food restaurant. That encounter led to scheduled meals with members of the homeless community.
“Me and my brothers were like, ‘we want to do something about this,'” said Reed, and Foundations for Tomorrow was born.
