Rebuilding Together Broward County’s Veterans Housing Initiative was created to meet the growing needs of veterans from past and present wars. The initiative serves to fill the gaps in housing modifications and repair services that retired and active service men and women struggle to meet. Working in partnership with corporate sponsors, RTBC’s Veterans Housing Initiative strives to provide safe and accessible housing for all low-income veterans.
“The inaugural M.A.S.H. Bash is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy great food and a fun-filled evening for a very important cause – providing safe and accessible housing for our veterans. When our event chair Alyssa Lovitt came to me with the idea I knew that it was perfect for our mission. We have been providing services to veterans for over 10 years and are thrilled to be able to recognize some of our strongest partners” said Sandra Veszi Einhorn, Rebuilding Together Broward County Executive Director.
