MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE [August 14, 2026] -– The Tunnel to Towers Foundation opened its Memphis Veterans Village, which will provide permanent supportive housing for America’s veterans.  

The former hotel at 7060 Riverdale Bend Road has been transformed into 110 units of affordable housing where veterans will not only have a place to live but also access to the services they need to build long-term stability and independence. 

On-site services include job training and employment assistance, VA benefits navigation, education assistance, financial counseling, legal advocacy, mental health and PTSD counseling, and addiction recovery services.  

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation Homeless Veteran Program 

Launched in 2022, Tunnel to Towers has provided housing assistance and supportive services to more than 20,000 veterans nationwide and 10,000 children.  

The Foundation currently operates Veterans Villages in Houston, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia, and North Charleston, SC, while also supporting affiliate veteran housing programs in Riverside and West Los Angeles, California, and Austin, Texas. 

This year, Tunnel to Towers will open Veterans Villages in Detroit, Michigan; Denver, Colorado; and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. An additional seven Veterans Villages are currently under construction and are expected to open in 2027. 

Beyond its work to end veteran homelessness, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation provides mortgage-free homes to Gold Star families and families of fallen first responders with young children and builds specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders. The Mae and George Siller Scholarship Program provides full scholarships for all undergraduate degree programs and certified and accredited trade programs for the children of its Gold Star Family Home Program, Fallen First Responder Home Program, and Smart Home Program.
