Start Corporation's CEO, Casey Guidry, recently shared his insights on the connection between housing and health. 📰

Access to stable, safe housing plays a critical role in improving health outcomes. When individuals and families have a secure place to live, it creates the stability needed to focus on physical health, mental wellness, and long-term wellbeing.

At Start Corp, housing support is a key part of how we serve our communities, helping people build stronger, healthier futures. 🤝🏠

Yesterday, two members of our Veterans Department, Kayla Duplantis and Breanne Pellegrin, had the opportunity to attend a Veterans Outreach Clinic hosted by Congressman Clay Higgins.

During this event, they engaged with members of the community, representatives from the VA, and members of Representative Higgins’s team to discuss the services and support that Start Corporation’s Veteran Services program provides to those who have served.

It was a privilege to participate in this important community outreach event. Our staff values opportunities like this to connect with veterans and community partners, and we look forward to continuing to support and participate in similar initiatives in the future.
