Скачать или смотреть Inside the Motel Transforming Homeless Veterans’ Lives | We The Builders

Chris Israel has lived the shame, isolation, and pressure of homelessness as a veteran. Now, in Amarillo, TX, he’s transforming a run-down Route 66 motel into permanent, supportive housing for veterans. Every day, he hammers, paints, and mentors residents—seeing himself not as a hero, but as a guide: “Everybody can do what I did. I am absolutely not any smarter than anybody else.”

This motel isn’t just rooms—it’s a community. Veterans support one another, regain their footing, and rebuild independence. Chris’s work proves that meaningful change often starts with someone stepping up where it’s needed most.

We The Builders spotlights Americans taking action—building the solutions they want to see.
