Join The Team-We Are Hiring!

Tommy Norman, a Charlotte native and Army Special Forces veteran founded Bridge Home in July of 2021. After his military service, Mr. Norman worked in banking in New York City before returning to Charlotte and starting Norcom Properties. When a friend, the director of the U.S. Special Operations Command Care Coalition, asked Mr. Norman to help out a severely wounded Iraqi war veteran who wanted to move to Charlotte, Mr. Norman and his wife, Patty, did not hesitate. Soon came other calls and the Normans continued to welcome veterans into their home, helping them find jobs, places to live, and schools for their children. The calls kept coming, and soon it became obvious that veterans needed serious help navigating the system of support for veteran's education, employment and healthcare available to them.

With incredible support from the Charlotte business community, the Normans founded Bridge Home in 2011.

Over the past 10 years the organization's name changed to Veterans Bridge Home, its programming grew from a few projects, focusing on the Charlotte region, to several large programs spanning across North Carolina and parts of South Carolina.

VBH's team also continues to grow. If you are passionate about serving the military and veteran communities, we invite you to check out our open positions and become part of an amazing team!
