Plymouth — Swim With A Mission Inc. met with representatives of Harbor Homes Inc. and local supporters Nov. 28 at the site of the future Boulder Point Veterans Housing project, currently under construction in Plymouth, where the founders of Swim With A Mission, Phil and Julie Taub, presented Harbor Homes with a check for $75,000 toward the Boulder Point project.
The housing project, slated for completion this summer, will provide housing for 30 low-income veteran families by off ering 25 one-bedroom and five two-bedroom units.
Once complete, the building will also provide central community space for the delivery of support services and case management for resident veterans to help them on their path to a successful life.
In addition to Swim With A Mission, Cathy Bentwood and Alex Ray — Plymouth area residents and champions of the Boulder Point Veterans Housing project — have been instrumental in soliciting support from state and local businesses and individuals, with a significant portion of support coming from state and federal funding sources. All of the aforementioned have come together through Harbor Homes to help make this project a reality.
“Support from the public has been crucial to completing this critically needed veterans housing project,” said Harbor Homes CEO Peter Kelleher.
