Leominster will soon be the site of a new veterans housing facility, following the purchase of a former rest home by a Devens-based nonprofit.
Clear Path for Veterans New England purchased the Presentation Health Care Center, located at 99 Church St., for $2.57 million in a deal finalized on Thursday, according to Worcester Northern Registry of Deeds records.
“We’re proud to announce the Journey Home Campus at 99 Church Street in Leominster — our newest initiative to combat veteran homelessness in North Central Massachusetts,” a Friday LinkedIn post from Clear Pathreads. “This trauma-informed, ADA-compliant facility will offer safe, supportive housing with room to grow — providing hope, healing, and a fresh start for our most vulnerable veterans.”
Established in 2017, Clear Path for Veterans New England works to support veterans in successfully reintegrating into their communities, with support including community meals, assistance finding employment opportunities, and providing wellness services like therapy and yoga.
The property was sold by Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Catholic religious congregation, which had operated the site as a rest home for retired nuns.
“We are honored to be passing on the stewardship of this sacred space to Clear Path for Veterans,” Mary Catherine Redmond, president of Presentation Sisters, said in the press release. “The work that Clear Path does is truly life-changing, and we are proud to contribute to their mission of healing and empowerment.”
The two-story, 19-bed facility was constructed in 1931, according to City of Leominster property records. The 1.8-acre site received a 2025 tax assessment value of $3 million.
