Housing Programs

Gifting Forever Homes

Building Homes for Heroes constructs, modifies, and gifts mortgage-free homes to our injured veterans and their families, Gold Star families, and First Responders, enabling them to build better and brighter lives. These homes help to remove the family’s financial burden, to restore the individual’s freedom, and to support the veteran to lead a more independent and productive civilian life. All homes we gift are modeled to meet the needs of a physically and/or psychologically disabled veteran and their family, helping to improve their day-to-day quality of life, and assist them in leading a hopeful and promising future ahead.

Help Us Reach 400 Homes In 2024

Building Homes for Heroes was founded in 2006 with the hope of gifting a single home to a single veteran. Thanks to the help of tireless volunteers, supporters and generous corporations, the dream has grown towards our goal of reaching our milestone 400th home by the end of 2024.
