The Shoreview Area Housing Initiative (SAHI), a client of Landon Group, is partnering with a class of St. Paul College carpentry students to build a home for veteran Thomas Koop. Koop was diagnosed with PTSD after his 15-month tour in Afghanistan and was therefore unable to hold a job. With a long VA housing waiting list, Koop and his wife became homeless. Thanks to the volunteer work of these carpentry students and SAHI, Koop and his wife will have a home again. Click here to read more of this inspiring story.
