The city's homeless veterans should all have roofs over their heads by the end of 2015, Mayor Martin J. Walsh vowed yesterday as he challenged real estate owners and landlords to help make it happen.
"I don't think it's a daunting promise. I think it's our obligation to do it," Walsh said. "We need the entire city to pull together."
The initiative called "Boston Homes for the Brave" seeks to house the city's 400 homeless veterans and is part of the federal Mayors Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness. Walsh said landlords may need to offer discounts or whatever it takes to help vets.
Jamie Maddox, 59, a homeless vet, tearfully described his return to the New England Center for Homeless Veterans in Boston where he found "a lot of love" — and the help he needed to get back on his feet.
Federal, state and city agencies will begin putting together the technology and strategies that will help identify veterans and connect them to supporters, housing and employment.
