Taking care of veterans
CNN Hero of the Year Liz McCartney (2008) is starting her next big venture -- taking care of veterans. The co-founder and COO of the disaster recovery nonprofit SBP is getting ready to break ground on a new veterans and low-to-moderate income housing community in New Orleans. In addition to the 50 units, the entire complex is net-zero thanks to 450 solar panels donated by Entergy -- making it the largest residential building of its kind in the south.
