Golden Isles Veterans Village Initiative has cleared land in
downtown Brunswick next to the Manna House and will soon begin
construction of 30 Tiny Houses exclusively for homeless
veterans. In addition to providing a fully furnished house (128
to 144 sq ft) there will be counseling, physical and mental
support and job training to help them transition back into
society. This is a transitional program, a hand up not a hand
out. This is a private undertaking with no government money so
donations are needed to make this a reality. Contact James
