Homes for the Brave

Homes for the Brave Homes for the Brave is a nonprofit dedicated to providing housing and community services to Veterans.

In addition to housing, we offer case management, life skills, vocational services, computer classes, and mental health services. In 2002, ABRI opened Homes for the Brave (HFTB), a 42 bed transitional living facility. The program is available to male Veterans and non-veterans who are homeless with a special focus on those who struggle with mental illness and/or substance abuse problems. Female Soldiers: Forgotten Heroes provides the same services for up to 14 homeless women, primarily Veterans.

🎤 One of the featured comedians at our 10th Annual For Veterans by Veterans Comedy Night is Navy veteran Mitch Stinson!

Before stepping onto the comedy stage, Mitch spent 10 years as a United States Navy aircraft-carrier aviator, completing more than 200 carrier landings during his military career. Today, he’s rising through the comedy ranks across the Northeast with original, clean material and a hilarious perspective on the transition from hot-shot Navy pilot to everyday civilian life.

Join us March 27 at Vazzano’s Four Seasons in Stratford, CT for a memorable evening of laughter and camaraderie.

This fan-favorite event includes:
🍽️ Appetizers
🍽️ Full dinner
🍰 Dessert
🍸 Cash bar
🎤 A full comedy show featuring comedians who have all served in our military
