Tunnel to Towers Delivers 21 Mortgage-Free Homes on 9/11 Anniversary, Launches National Steel Tour

The foundation pairs mortgage relief with a nationwide remembrance effort to keep 9/11 education in front of new generations.

Overview

  • The nonprofit said six of the 21 mortgage payoffs support families of first responders who died from 9/11-related illnesses.
  • New York–area recipients included the families of FDNY/EMS Lt. Anthony Cozzino, FDNY firefighter Peter Quinn, dispatcher Kevin Weeks, fire chief Louis Sollicito, officer Craig Capolino, and NYPD officer Mark Natale.
  • The latest group also spans the country, including Nevada Highway Patrol Sgt. Michael Abbate’s family, which will remain in the Henderson home he helped build.
  • Tunnel to Towers announced a “Steel Across America” tour that will carry a World Trade Center steel artifact with a 93-foot mobile museum to broaden public remembrance.
  • The organization outlined a plan to provide 200 mortgage-free homes in 2025 and urged $11-per-month donations through T2T.org to sustain the expansion.
