Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) is a publicly funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives. Most of these Veterans have sustained injuries including multiple limb amputations, partial or full paralysis, blindness, severe burns, and/or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Since the organization’s inception in 2004, HFOT has built and donated over 410 homes in 45 states, while nearly 90 cents out of every dollar spent has gone directly to program services for Veterans. HFOT currently has 75 active home-build projects in various stages of construction nationwide.
Each of HFOT’s specially adapted custom homes for injured Veterans is equipped with over 40 major special adaptations and exceeds ADA standards, providing full accessibility for the Veteran. Homes For Our Troops provides a pro-bono financial planner for three years to assist in financial planning and household budgeting. HFOT also provides homeownership education and warranty coverage to ensure that the Veteran is set up for long-term success as a homeowner.
Rebuilding Lives is the most important aspect of HFOT’s mission; therefore, the organization stays in contact with Veterans after home delivery. Empowered by the freedom a specially adapted, mortgage-free home provides, these injured Veterans can now focus on their recovery while embarking on new careers, completing college degrees, and starting families.
“I am forever grateful to Homes For Our Troops for this incredible specially adapted custom home. It’s so much more than just a house—it’s a life-changing gift that has restored my independence, comfort, and peace of mind. Words can’t fully express what this means to me, but what I do know is this: it’s helping me climb back up the mountain, one step at a time,” says 2024 HFOT home recipient Navy HM3 Adrian Walker.
There are more than 150 Veterans in the application process for our program for severely injured Veterans. As a top-rated military and Veterans’ nonprofit organization, Homes For Our Troops relies on the generosity of donors and supporters.
Homes For Our Troops is excited to announce that our 7th Annual Day of Giving will be held on Monday, July 14, 2025, with a goal of raising $500,000. This online fundraising event is dedicated to advancing our mission of Building Homes and Rebuilding Lives.
