Quote of the Day 9/19/2016

“We changed our focus to gear it toward (the veteran population). They have been phenomenal. They have a great work ethic. They want to be left alone. They just want a nice, quiet place to live. We’ve had nothing but success with them.”

-Leon Riggs, property manager for one of the 40 nonprofits in Oklahoma City participating in a federal program that aims to end veteran homelessness by the end of 2016 (Source).
