AN INTERACTIVE HOME MADE OF VETerANS SLEEPING BAGS
TO CELEBRATE A SOLUTION TO VETERANS HOMELESSNESS.

Every year, 180,000 young Americans join the Armed Forces. And when they do, they’ll spend 75% of their service in a sleeping bag.
Tonight, 37,828 veterans will find themselves in a sleeping bag again.
Only this time, on the street.

We created the Battle Home with our clients at the NAR/VCP to shed light on the critical issue of veterans homelessness.
Using the sleeping bag not only for its symbolism, but as an actual building material. Individually, each brick represents one veteran’s
journey from a place of hopelessness to one of healing. Taken together, the Battle Home tells the story of a new beginning at the
tiny home community of the VCP village created by an NAR REALTOR®

Each brick was made from a previously homeless Veterans sleeping bag used on the street
and turned into a hardened brick that helped build the walls of ‘The Battle Home’.

The bricks had scannable codes, that launched mini true stories about different Veterans’ lives on the streets
and how VCP housing project helped course correct their lives.
