Groups that help homeless veterans in rural Texas communities say they need more support finding homes for heroes
Andrade says they cost about $1,800 to build and she's hoping to put 18 on the property. Contractor and veteran Jason Sturgis stepped up to help.
"It's a problem in every rural area in the United States, you know.
A property owner who allows people to be in tents on his land told NBC 5, they are helping 14 men right now and are at capacity. And without some financial assistance, he's not sure he'll be able to continue paying electrical bills. She's grateful to Sturgis and other businesses including Btx construction for installing electrical wiring and all the local stores that allow them to set up their table and raise money out front.
