A New Pact to Honor Veterans: Alliance Between New Harmony Behavioral Health and New Hope Village for Veteran

New Jersey, September 22, 2025. At a time when the invisible wounds of war and the challenges of social reintegration continue to burden thousands of U.S. veterans, a new alliance emerges with the ambition to redefine possibilities. New Harmony Behavioral Health LLC (NHBH) and New Hope Village for Veterans, Inc. (NHVV) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to deliver comprehensive and sustainable solutions to those who have served the nation.

A Shared Vision: Dignity, Care, and Reintegration

The agreement, signed on September 17, 2025, affirms a joint commitment to universal principles: respect and dignity for every veteran, holistic care that addresses both mental and physical health, equitable access to services, and a rigorous collaboration rooted in transparency and shared accountability .

For Kevin Miller, CEO and Founder of New Harmony Behavioral Health, this pact “represents much more than an institutional agreement: it is a reaffirmation that no veteran should face the weight of trauma or housing insecurity alone.”

In the same spirit, Cheryl Turner, Founder and Board Chair of New Hope Village for Veterans, emphasized that the covenant “seeks to build strong bridges between clinical care and community support, offering not only shelter and assistance but also hope and dignity.”

Scope and Commitments

The collaboration encompasses five essential pillars:

Behavioral health services: NHBH will serve as the designated provider of mental health care for all NHVV participants.

Housing and reintegration: NHVV will coordinate transitional and supportive housing programs, fostering veterans’ reinsertion into society.

Joint programming: wellness workshops, workforce development, family support services, and community outreach.

Mutual referral system: ensuring seamless access to both institutions’ resources.

Shared training and professional development: exchange of best practices and collaborative capacity building .

Beyond an Agreement

Although the memorandum, with an initial duration of three years, is not legally binding, it sets forth a framework of coordinated action with the potential to profoundly impact the lives of veterans in New Jersey and, eventually, across the country .

At a time of intensifying debate about the nation’s moral and social debt to those who served in the Armed Forces, this pact between NHBH and NHVV stands as a reminder that genuine patriotism is not measured in rhetoric, but in the ability to walk alongside veterans with humanity, resources, and opportunity.

A Precedent for the Future

The signing of this agreement not only announces a program of collaboration but also inspires a broader narrative of hope. It is a vision in which the return of veterans to civilian life is no longer defined by marginalization or invisibility, but instead by resilience, community, and transformation.

In the words of one veteran who attended the private signing ceremony: “We are not asking for pity; we are asking for pathways. This agreement gives us exactly that: a way forward.” New Jersey, September 22, 2025. – At a time when the invisible wounds of war and the challenges of social reintegration continue to burden thousands of U.S. veterans, a new alliance emerges with the ambition to redefine possibilities.
