Harbor Care proudly announces a generous grant of $5,000 from BAE Systems, as both organizations collaborate to end homelessness among veterans in New Hampshire.

This contribution exemplifies BAE Systems’ commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those who have selflessly served our nation. The funding will provide vital assistance to veterans, including ensuring access to shelter, food, and other essential resources, with the aim of aiding homeless veterans in their journey toward stability.

"We believe in the importance of standing together to support those who have served our country. This donation reflects our ongoing dedication to making a tangible difference in the lives of veterans experiencing homelessness, helping them rebuild and regain a sense of security," said Henry J. Och, President and CEO of Harbor Care.

“BAE Systems is proud to collaborate with Harbor Care to provide crucial support to those who have sacrificed so much for our nation,” said Amy Sweeney, head of Community Investment at BAE Systems Electronic Systems sector. “As the largest provider of supportive housing for the veterans in the state, Harbor Care makes a tremendous difference in the lives of veterans experiencing homelessness.”

The non-profit agency provides housing to more than 450 veterans and their family members each year. Through innovative, proven models of housing, economic support, and community partnerships, Harbor Care has helped achieve and maintain an effective end to veteran homelessness in Nashua, NH since 2017. Partnering with statewide shelters and veteran support organizations, the agency is now working to help the rest of the state achieve the same milestone.
