Through the Large Cities Housing Fund, cities make housing available faster — acquiring properties like The Park at Ferentino in Charlotte, North Carolina, and dedicating half of each building to people exiting homelessness. One of those residents is Byron P., a U.S. Navy veteran whose new home was made possible through the Fund and support from UnitedHealth Group.
“If we wouldn’t have got access to these resources, we’d probably still be sleeping in my car,” Byron said.
“Since we got here, my health has been a lot better. Stable housing is key to anybody’s mental, physical, and emotional health.”
Together, this collaboration shows how housing, health, and strategic investment can deliver measurable change: better outcomes for veterans, smarter use of resources, and stronger communities.
