Griswold – A new home for homeless veterans that has been hailed as a model for other veterans’ housing projects opens today.

After years of planning and fundraising, the LaFlamme-Kusek American Legion Post 15 has transformed its Jewett City headquarters and a new addition into 18 one-bedroom apartments.

The veterans, who are single males or females from Connecticut, will start to move in later this month. Counselors from the Reliance House Inc. in Norwich will be on site to work with them.
