TESTIMONIALS

Page 14: Liberty House Veteran's Day Breakfast Slideshow

“If you see positive things, you’re likely to do positive things, and that’s what happens here at Liberty House…

You’re given shelter, you’re given food, whatever you need, you’re given that so all you have to do is focus on getting yourself better.”

-Dan, resident alumni

Volunteers unload food donations collected by soldiers from all over New Hampshire.

“Liberty House is a place that has consideration and thoughtfulness for a veteran who has run into hard times…this is a place they can have a new start in life, they feel at home.”

“If you want a real good chance of getting ahead and you’re getting off drugs or getting off alcohol and you put your mind to it, this is a good place to start.”-Randy, resident alumni

-Master Sergeant Lionel Leblanc, WWII veteran and Liberty House supporter

“What I like about Liberty House, it’s all small donations, it doesn’t rely on massive government funding.

It’s just ordinary people who realize the issues at stake.”-George, resident alumni and in-kind donation coordinator

LIBERTY HOMES PROJECT

Enclosed cargo trailers are designed to be solid, durable, and weather resistant.

Liberty House sees the opportunity for permanent homes for future residents through the conversion of enclosed cargo trailers into small, portable homes.

LIBERTY HOMES PROJECT

Beginning in early April 2015, Executive Director Keith Howard began a field test of the project, documenting the transformation of the trailer and his life in it on the Liberty House website.

Keith will continue to live in the home for one year to demonstrate reproducibility for future trailer transformations for residents.

LIBERTY HOMES PROJECT

The Liberty Homes Project will offer residents of the Liberty House the opportunity to earn affordable and sustainable housing through sweat equity, their own money, and community donations.

Residents who have worked 200 hours on a trailer transformation would be awarded their own cargo trailer to transform with the help of other residents, current and former, contributing to an ongoing and positive community.Resident Alumnus Dan
