On June 29, 2016, Sen. Valesky attended a ribbon cutting when Clear Path for Veterans officially christened its “Home for the Brave,” a two-year project to construct a home that offers a veteran a long-term, onsite intensive training option to the Dogs2Vets program. The Home for the Brave works with the Dog2Vets program by relieving the challenge of taking dogs directly from shelters and placing them with their veteran partner. Simultaneously, it allows veterans in the program to mentor and give back to others what they’ve learned by living onsite.
