Tunnel to Towers Foundation Applauds New Executive Order Supporting Homeless Veterans and Pledges Continued Partnership with President Trump
Staten Island, NY, May 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Statement from Frank Siller, Chairman and CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation: 'The Tunnel to Towers Foundation fully supports President Trump's Executive Order to establish the National Center for Warrior Independence on the West Los Angeles VA Campus. This bold and much-needed directive reflects our shared commitment to keeping America's promise to its veterans—especially those experiencing homelessness. Tunnel to Towers has long believed that no veteran who served our country should be left to sleep on its streets. We have already provided housing and critical services to more than 10,000 homeless veterans nationwide, and we are proud to operate a facility on the West LA campus—directly serving veterans in the city with the highest concentration of homeless heroes in the country. This new Center will not only provide shelter, but a pathway to recovery, stability, and self-sufficiency through housing, treatment, and workforce reintegration. It is a transformational step toward turning what was once a symbol of neglect into a national model of restoration and respect. I look forward to sitting down with President Trump to discuss a comprehensive plan to build upon this momentum and further the Tunnel to Towers Foundation's commitment to eradicating veteran homelessness once and for all. Together, we can restore dignity and deliver lasting change for the heroes who have sacrificed so much for this nation.'

New Veterans Village breaks ground in Harrisburg
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – The nationwide nonprofit, Tunnel to Towers Foundation broke ground in Harrisburg along South Front Street on Thursday. 'Where we will build a permanent supportive housing program for 84 veterans in the Harrisburg area,' said T2T Homeless Veterans Program, Gavin Naples. There will be a 64-unit apartment complex and 20 one-bedroom 'comfort homes.' It will offer support services including job training, benefits assistance, mental health support, and addiction treatment, plus basketball courts, gym, and game rooms. 'It will provide safe, stable housing for veterans in need. It will offer them not only shelter, but most importantly, dignity,' said Harrisburg City Mayor Wanda Williams. The nonprofit was born after the devastation of 9/11. 'On September 11th I lost my brother,' said Chairman and CEO of Tunnel to Towers Foundation, Frank Siller. Stephen Gerard Siller was assigned to Brooklyn's Squad One in New York. He has just finished his shift and was leaving the city when he got the call. 'He drives his truck to the mouth of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel,' said Frank Siller. Siller couldn't get through the tunnel due to abandoned cars. 'So, what does he do? He straps on his 60 pounds of gear on his back and runs through the tunnel to the towers up the stairs and while saving people, he gives up his life,' said Frank Siller. The foundation has built smart homes for injured veterans and first responders, and it provides mortgage free homes to gold star families and fallen first responders. Now, they build veterans villages across the U.S., but why Harrisburg? 'Why we're on this ground is that what's uncovered right here on this property is a beautiful stone that says September 11, 2001, that was buried here in the ground,' said Frank Siller. Tunnel to Towers Foundation says it will take around 12 to 14 months to complete the village. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
