CFH Headlines: Homeless Veterans (Rerun from yesterday with comment from Steve Camilleri)--CFH, with help from retired judge and WWII navy veteran Robert L. Miller, Sr., plans to convert neighboring commericial building at 747 S. Michigan Street into veteran's facility; Judge Miller says he was moved to help by South Bend Tribune photo of a homeless man sleeping in a coffin-like packing crate; local VA official, Naomi Nicastro, says it could be the first homeless shelter in the country exclusively for veterans; CFH director Steve Camilleri says new shelter will have 25-30 beds; Nicastro says facility could be eligible for VA funding; Judge Miller's granddaughter, Amanda Miller, is the development and public relations specialist at the center; Judge Miller is also skipper of CFH drill team "Miller's Vets;" Judge Miller and Steve hope to have the facility open in the fall.
Herald Editor and columnist Uncle Ron posed this question to Steve: CFH has been serving veterans (like myself) since it opened. Why do you feel the need for a separate facility now?
Steve's answer: "I have felt the need has always been there, but the donor hasn't, nor has the offer to buy this building. It's simply a timing thing and now is the time. Sorry it wasn't there when you were."
The Herald will be following the progress of this story until the new facility opens.
