## Liberty's Shutdown Relief Efforts

Liberty Military Housing said the federal government entered a full shutdown on October 1, 2025, affecting nearly 2.5 million active-duty service members and their families. The company responded with a temporary pause on resident rent payments, operational continuity for resident services and community engagement opportunities for its team members.

Specific support included coordinating food pantry events and meal drives for over 15,000 families, collecting more than $40,000 in gift cards that enabled over 5,000 families to shop at base commissaries, local restaurants and grocery stores, and partnering with more than 40 nonprofit organizations for financial services, food insecurity and counseling assistance. Liberty also donated, wrapped and distributed 2,500 gifts to children of military service members, provided Thanksgiving turkeys to over 800 families, sponsored holiday celebration dinners for 1,000 service members, provided Christmas trees to over 300 families and donated winter coats through Support the Enlisted Project.

"At Liberty, our mission goes beyond providing housing. We are committed to fostering strong, supportive communities that help the servicemember, military spouse, and children, navigate both the rewards and challenges of military life," said Gail Miller, COO of Liberty Military Housing. "I am proud of our team members for the extraordinary care, compassion, and dedication they demonstrated in supporting military families during this difficult and uncertain time."
