Upstate Warrior Solution (UWS) is proud to host the official ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Rupert Huse Veteran Center (RHVC) on Wednesday, April 19. The first of its kind in the region, the RHVC will serve as a hub of resources for veterans, first responders, and their families. Through collaboration among public, private, and nonprofit partners, this one-stop shop will remove barriers and streamline service delivery for local warriors.
UWS is honored to have South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, South Carolina Department of Veteran Affairs Secretary Todd McCaffrey, Greenville Mayor Knox White, and other dignitaries show their support by attending this special event.
“It’s an absolute honor to have Governor McMaster and other leaders show their support of this special milestone for the Upstate community,” said Charlie Hall, UWS President. “Access to holistic, supportive services is crucial for preventing veteran and first responder suicide. The RHVC brings together a host of services under one roof to provide that wrap-around care. Through our collaboration, this center will literally save lives.”
UWS holds the master lease for the 40,000 square foot center through which warriors will gain direct access to veteran-centric tenants and broader access to the organization’s network of community partners. The RHVC houses resources for workforce development, housing stability, physical and mental health, legal support, therapeutic art, and much more. This one-stop shop approach will enable veterans, first responders, and their families to easily connect with the services they need to thrive.
