Tunnel to Towers Foundation Brings Its Mission to Eradicate Veteran Homelessness to Charlotte

Foundation to Convert Hotel Into Over 100 Units of Housing for Local Veterans

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA [March 12, 2026] — On March 12, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation broke ground on its newest project, as part of its effort to eradicate veteran homelessness, transforming a former Charlotte hotel into housing for America’s heroes.

The Foundation purchased a hotel on Forest Pine Drive and will convert it into permanent, low-cost housing for veterans in need. Each unit will be fully renovated with new flooring, fixtures, appliances, and furniture, creating safe, independent living spaces for veterans to call home.

Tunnel to Towers Veterans Villages offer more than just a roof over their heads; there are on-site comprehensive support services, including job training, benefits and education assistance, access to medical and mental health care, PTSD counseling, and addiction treatment to address the root causes of homelessness and break the cycle once and for all. 

Veteran homelessness remains a critical issue nationwide, with an estimated 30,000 veterans experiencing homelessness, a number Tunnel to Towers believes is much higher. 

Launched in 2023, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation Homeless Veteran Program has already provided housing assistance to over 17,500 veterans and 8,000 of their children. 

Tunnel to Towers Veteran Villages are operating in Houston, Texas; Riverside, California; West Los Angeles, California; Phoenix, Arizona; and Mableton, Georgia, with nearly a dozen additional sites under construction or in the planning phase. 

Tunnel to Towers continues its original mission to support America’s heroes by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and building specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.
