“Ensuring the brave servicemen and women who serve in our armed forces transition smoothly to civilian life should be one of our highest priorities at every level of government,” Tsongas said in a statement. “I commend the Chelmsford Housing Authority for pursuing strong public/private partnerships to provide needed housing assistance to veterans in the Third District.”
