Homeless veterans in Savannah will soon live in independent shelters built by Fort Stewart soldiers as part of a partnership between the Army and nonprofit organizations. The Home Builders Institute, a national nonprofit, has a facility on Fort Stewart it is using to train soldiers who are separating from the Army with skills that will help them get a job in the construction industry. “So when they leave the military, they leave with an industry-recognized certificate, and they can begin working in the construction industry as soon as they walk out the door,” said retired Gen. George Casey, former Army chief of staff and an HBI board of trustees member.
