Tunnel to Towers Founder Frank Siller says that his organization has helped many homeless veterans get off the streets, and they have even bigger plans for 2023.  

Siller started the foundation in memory of his little brother, who was one of the firefighters who died going to save others at the World Trade Center on 9/11 in 2001. The foundation has helped get homeless veterans off the streets, pay off their mortgages and has started a curriculum based on the 9/11 attacks for kids K-12 who don't remember that day. 

"We're going to get thousands and thousands more of our homeless veterans off the streets and into these communities and these comfort homes that we're building," Siller said on the Veterans Day special of "Just the News, No Noise." "We have a tremendous team."

Tunnel to Towers builds homes for injured veterans who have a disability from serving and puts them into communities with each other. 

"We've been very successful on working on some very big plans," Siller said. "You'll see some in the beginning of 2023 — properties that we're building, hotels that were renovating and land that we would put comfort homes on. We already have 1,000 homeless veterans off the streets getting the proper care and emotional support that they need."

According to Siller, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation not only helps veterans get shelter and basic necessities, but also emotional support. 

"So many Americans care about our military — those who serve, those who protect us, those who go out and are willing to die for you and I, and all too often do," Siller explained. "When people donate to Tunnel to Towers foundation, it is going to be the foundation that's going to be for veterans. It'll be there not only to pay off the mortgage, but for the emotional support they'll need."
