Our homes have over 40 major special adaptations to provide full access to the home for the Veteran. These adaptations include wider halls and doorways; automatic door openers; generators and safe rooms, roll under sinks, stove tops, and counters; pull down shelving, all designed to help the Veteran live independently. Despite their life-altering injuries, many of our Veterans have embarked on new careers, completed their college degrees, and started families. Empowered by the freedom a mortgage-free and specially adapted home brings, our Veterans can now focus on their recovery and returning to their life's work of serving others.
Each of our specially adapted custom homes for injured Veterans is equipped with over 40 major special adaptations and exceeds ADA compliancy standards, providing full accessibility for the Veteran. These adaptations include wider halls and doorways, automatic door openers, roll under sinks, stove tops, and counters, pull down shelving, generators and safe rooms, all designed to help the Veteran live independently. Homes For Our Troops builds four-bedroom, two bath, specially adapted energy efficient homes of just over 2,800 square feet, the right size home for a Veteran to comfortably raise a family while limiting expenses for utilities.
By far the best non profit in its category. Very kind, helpful staff. Everyone is welcoming and each person truly does their job from their heart. Thank you for all this organization has done for my brother!
I received the keys to my HFOT home in September of 2010, and I could not be more thankful for all this organization has done for me and my family. We were in a hard place back then, living, and trying to raise our son, in inaccessible housing. We decided we needed to apply with hopes of bettering our lives. And it's so much more than we could have hoped for. Since we moved into our home my wife and I both have graduated from college with Bachelors degrees, and expanded our family. There's no way we could have done this without Homes For Our Troops!
I volunteer for the landscaping of the homes I can drive too. I also donate monthly. This is one of the best organizations when it comes to serving our wounded veterans.
Any donation, no matter the amount, means the world to me as it has helped provide a more independent living and financially secure future for me and my family." -Army SGT Mario Lopez
