Atlas  Roofing  Partners  with  Veterans  Community  Project  for  Phase  
Two  of  Veterans  Housing  Village  
 
Atlas  Employees,  Partners  and  Volunteers  to  Participate  at  the  Atlas  Build  Day;;  
 Atlas  Products  Donated  to  Support  Community  
 
KANSAS  CITY,  MO-­  August  8,  2018-­  Atlas  Roofing  Corporation,  in  partnership  with  the  
Veterans  Community  Project  (VCP),  will  begin  Phase  Two  construction  for  the  Veterans  
Housing  Village.  The  Veterans  Community  Project’s  housing  village  is  a  specialized  community  
of  50  tiny  homes  that  provide  transitional  housing  and  address  the  underlying  cause  of  veteran  
homelessness.  
 
Phase  Two  of  the  project  officially  begins  with  the  Atlas  Build  Day.  Atlas  employees,  contracting  
partners  and  VCP  leaders  will  be  on-­site  to  begin  the  construction  of  more  than  13  tiny  homes,  
which  will  be  added  to  the  existing  neighborhood  of  finished  homes,  a  community  center  and  
resource  facility  of  full-­time  staff  of  case  managers  to  assist  the  veterans.  The  addition  of  Phase  
Two  will  make  more  room  for  homeless  veterans,  where  they  can  seek  rehabilitation,  job  
assistance  services,  and  support  from  their  peers  in  a  safe  environment.    
 
“Our  partnership  with  Atlas  Roofing  has  been  instrumental  in  the  successful  completion  of  our  
first  veteran  village  development,”  said  Brandonn  Mixon,  co-­founder  and  Chief  Project  Officer  at  
Veterans  Community  Project.  “Thanks  to  the  high  performance  value  that  the  Atlas  products  
offer,  I  am  confident  that  our  residents  will  stay  warm  in  the  winter  and  cool  in  the  summer  while  
we  keep  our  energy  costs  low.”    
 
 
Atlas  Build  Day:  Helping  To  Grow  a  Community  
 
Atlas  is  collaborating  with  key  partners  and  volunteers  to  provide  specialized  services  and  on-­
site  contractor  support.  Partners,  including  ABC  Supply  Company  and  JR  Roofing,  will  be  
donating  time  and/or  services  for  the  construction.  The  Build  Day  event  will  focus  on  the  
installation  of  Atlas  EnergyShield®,  a  foil  faced  polyiso  continuous  insulation  for  residential  and  
commercial  exterior  walls.  Meeting  all  building  standards,  the  EnergyShield  product  allows  for  
short  term  savings  and  long-­term  energy  efficiencies.    
 
Phase  Two  of  the  Veterans  Village  will  consist  of  13  tiny  homes  that  will  house  homeless  
veterans  and  assist  in  their  mission  to  end  veteran  homelessness.  VCP  has  set  a  goal  to  
complete  Phase  Two  by  Veterans  Day  2018  and  will  rely  on  the  support  of  the  community,  
donors  and  volunteers  to  make  this  goal  a  reality.  The  VCP  will  work  with  volunteers  on  a  
majority  of  the  hands-­on  building  process  so  the  whole  community  can  get  involved.  Trade  
partners  will  complete  mechanical,  electrical  and  plumbing  work  as  needed.  During  the  build  
process,  VCP  will  also  be  planning  and  coordinating  Phase  Three  and  Four  to  complete  all  49  
homes  and  the  community  center  in  a  timely  fashion.  
 
The  Atlas  Build  Day  will  take  place  from  9a.m.  –  3p.m.  at  the  Veterans  Village  in  Kansas  City.    
The  event  will  begin  with  an  introduction  and  orientation  given  by  the  VCP  team.  To  attend  the  
event,  please  contact  Rachel  Nooner  at  rnooner@atlasroofing.com.
