Diane Nazzaro, Executive Director of the Veterans and Community Housing Coalition, has been recognized with the Capital Region Chamber Women of Excellence Awards for Business Innovation. Her dedication to serving veterans, rooted in a mission of service, has made a tangible impact in Saratoga County.
Driven by a commitment to help homeless veterans and their families secure housing and support, Nazzaro’s innovative approach is evident in projects like the Foreverly House in Ballston Spa. This community-built, two-family home opened last spring specifically for homeless veteran mothers and their children.
The honor acknowledges not just Diane’s individual efforts, but the collaborative, adaptable community-driven approach she embodies. Nazzaro emphasizes meeting people where they are and addressing challenges like veteran housing through practical, ground-level innovation.
