Homes For Our Troops is a national non-profit organization founded in 2004 strongly committed to helping those who have selflessly given to our country and have returned home with serious injuries since September 11, 2001. Homes for Our Troops restores freedom and independence to severely injured veterans through the gift of a specially adapted home. The organization assists severely injured veterans and their families by raising money and coordinating the process of building a home that provides maximum freedom of movement and the ability to live more independently. The homes provided by Homes for Our Troops are given at NO COST to the veterans served.
Note: An eligible veteran or service member may receive a Veterans Administration Specially Adapted Housing Grant up to a maximum amount of $64, 960. Homes for Our Troops' assistance covers all costs over and above this grant to ensure that the home is provided at no cost to the recipient. .
Famous quotes containing the words homes and/or troops:
“As fathers, men often feel either like guests in their own homes or clumsy bulls in china shops, deferring to their wives as the “emotional experts” and squelching their own wish to be fully involved.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
