When Easterseals NH asked state officials to support its proposal for a new veterans campus in 2022 with $23 million in federal pandemic money, it promised to create what it called a “Veteran Housing and Retreat Center.” Thirty-one apartments and 30 “respite/retreat beds” would be available for visiting veterans and their guests.
“The goal is to create a ‘One Stop’ approach to care for those in need,” the request said. Easterseals, a nonprofit providing disability and support services for veterans, military families, seniors, and caregivers, described it as “a center of excellence and first-of-its-kind in the state to serve those who have served.”
