We're excited to share that, thanks to our incredible partner, Built to Honor, we've continued our mission to provide deserving heroes with mortgage-free forever homes. Recently, United States Air Force Master Sergeant Kaia Santana and US Army Sergeant James Burse, both injured during their service, were surprised with their new homes in Orlando. These brave individuals have sacrificed so much for our country, and it's our privilege to be able to give back through this beautiful partnership. Thank you, Built to Honor, PulteGroup, and our amazing partners, for helping us make a difference in the lives of military families.

About us
Since 2006, Building Homes for Heroes® has been at the forefront of making a significant difference in the lives of wounded American service members and their families. The organization gifts mortgage-free homes that meet the needs of the men and women who have selflessly served our country. These homes not only help to remove the family’s financial burden, they help to restore the individual’s freedom, and enable the veteran to lead a more independent and productive civilian life. Organizational efficiency and sound fiscal responsibility are of utmost importance at Building Homes for Heroes®; neither the CEO nor its board members are compensated for their duties. The organization strives to keep fundraising and administrative costs at a minimum, thus only a small percentage of funds are allocated to overhead costs. Based on fiscal year audited financial statements, the organization had a program service percentage of 95.5 percent, the thirteenth straight year of at least a 93% program rating. We proudly gift and modify one home every 11 days, on average, and will reach our milestone 400th home in December of 2024. To further assist veterans, the organization has added programs, including financial planning services, family funding, and emergency support. Each home recipient is provided with a financial planning representative. This program is designed to provide the new, and sometimes first-time, homeowners with advice and guidance needed to maintain home expenses and to plan for a successful future.
