Do you know a military veteran that may be in need of home repair/improvement assistance?

Habitat for Humanity has a special program to help those who served, but we need your help to connect with eligible veterans!

Habitat for Humanity's Repair Corps was developed in partnership with The Home Depot Foundation to assist veterans in need of home repairs. Repair Corps has been designed to help veterans thrive by creating healthier, safer home environments through critical repairs and improvements. The program will assist with fixes identified in Habitat's Critical Home Repair guidelines that may vary from roofing, electrical, caulking and weather stripping to installing wheelchair ramps and remodeling bathrooms to be easily used by veterans with disabilities.

In keeping with the Habitat for Humanity philosophy of a hand-up, not a hand-out, some level of repayment from the homeowner is required. Repayment is dependent on the homeowner's ability to partner and repay.
