House of Heroes History
Founded in January 2000, the House of Heroes™ is a nonprofit organization serving our nation's military and public safety veterans (and their spouses) who are disabled, living on a fixed income, or facing other physical/financial challenges. Volunteers perform minor repairs and make improvements to the homes of veterans and their spouses—at no cost to the veteran—through the generosity of individuals, civic organizations, and corporations.
Home repairs include, but are not limited to, cleaning, painting, installation of access ramps, installations of screen windows and doors, repair or replacement of basic appliances, and yard maintenance and improvement. Home improvements are supervised by a local contractor, and will meet applicable codes.
To qualify for assistance in the program, one must:
-
Be a military or public safety service veteran, or their spouse.
-
Need financial and/or physical assistance with home repair.
-
Own and occupy the home to be repaired.

I was getting so many things that needed to be done, I didn't know if I would ever get it done….
