Boots2Roots partners with Airbnb and Live and Work in Maine
“We are grateful to Live and Work in Maine for connecting us with Airbnb, and for all their efforts to partner with us as we work to help veterans transition from the military to civilian life. Our goal is to attract veterans to Maine, and this program will make us more competitive, as it removes a barrier for out- of-state workers to come to Maine and look for a home, explore communities where they might want to settle and make important connections for themselves and their families.”
