Summary
343 mortgage-free homes will be delivered under Tunnel to Towers' new initiative, created to honor the 343 New York City firefighters killed in the Sept. 11 attacks.
The program marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and targets families of fallen service members and first responders, along with catastrophically injured service members across the country.
1,700-plus mortgage-free homes have already been provided through the foundation's line-of-duty programs, including more than 220 custom Smart Homes for severely injured veterans and first responders.
20,000-plus homeless veterans have also received housing support from the group, which is expanding its remembrance campaign through K-12 education efforts and a 16,000-pound World Trade Center steel beam exhibit.
Frank Siller said the effort extends the legacy of his brother Stephen Siller, the firefighter who died after running through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001.
