KSHB 41 Mixon said what started as his dream is now reality.
The project serves more than 1,200 veterans each year in Kansas City.
“Really, making this dream a reality, to now changing what veterans’ homelessness looks like nationally,” Mixon said. “If you would have told me we were changing veterans lives nationally, there’s no way. You’re talking about small-town guys in KC with a dream.”
Mixon said there are seven VCP communities across the country with plans to build more.
Projects in Longmont, Colorado, Sioux Falls, South Dakota and St. Louis are celebrating as they spent about a year helping veterans.
