You voted and the housing for homeless Veterans Philadelphia home won. It’s time to watch the HGTV (Home & Garden Television Channel) Change the World: America’s Heroes at 8:00 pm on Veterans Day, Wednesday November 11th.
HGTV’s Carter Oosterhouse and Monica Pedersen, along with more than 200 volunteers from the Pennsylvania American Legion and Rebuilding Together, worked together to renovate our Philadelphia home. Volunteers spent some 2,300 hours on the project.
This house is a transitional home for homeless veterans, a program operated by the Pennsylvania American Legion Housing for Homeless Veterans Corporation. In the three-bedroom townhouse, homeless veterans receive food and shelter, plus help finding work and a permanent place to live. Since 1994, nearly 400 veterans have successfully left the program and have gone on to become productive members of the workforce.
This episode, showcasing a St. Louis home and our Philadelphia home, become two of the biggest and best remodeling projects in HGTV history according to HGTV.
