- About the amount
- No caps published for any org checked. These are gifts of work or a home, not loans; no lien terms were found in the pages opened — ask the specific charity.
- Housing rules
- Operation Finally Home's modification track requires the home be owner-occupied and titled in the veteran's name, with mortgage and taxes current. Rebuilding Together Houston requires owner-occupant, single-family, only one property.
- How long it takes
- Not published; expect months for repair programs, longer for new-build programs.
- How to apply
- Contact the specific charity directly: Homes For Our Troops (866-787-6677), Operation Finally Home (855-788-4663), Purple Heart Homes (704-838-4044), your local Rebuilding Together affiliate (ask about Veterans at Home), your local Habitat affiliate (ask about Veterans Build/Repair Corps), or your state veterans agency.
- Does not pay for
- Homes For Our Troops serves only severely injured post-9/11 veterans who meet VA Specially Adapted Housing (SAH)-level eligibility for a new custom home — not existing-home repair for an older veteran with modest needs.
