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.

Today marks a solemn anniversary: the 23rd anniversary of 9/11. I remember being a fifth-grader; my mom pulled me out of class. I recall the distinctive scent of the comforter as I lay on the floor at home while my mom sat by the phone, waiting to be recalled to the Marine Corps and to hear from my dad, working in New York City, 1200 miles away. I'll never forget watching the chaos, the fear, and the courage of the first responders who rushed into danger without hesitation. Their sacrifice, along with the lives of all who perished, will forever be remembered. Today, we honor the families who continue to carry the weight of their loss. Their strength is a testament to the spirit of our nation. Let's remember the countless men and women who answered the call to serve after 9/11. Those who courageously deployed into harm's way, the wounded who returned home scarred but unbroken, and those who still stand guard today – their sacrifice is immeasurable. Today, let's unite, remembering the past, honoring the present, and inspiring the future. May the memory of 9/11 forever remind us of the fragility of life, the importance of compassion, and the resilience of America. Semper Fidelis. 🇺🇸

On this solemn anniversary, we pause to honor the lives lost and the heroes who gave their all on September 11th. The brave firefighters of the New York City Fire Department and countless first responders, their courage in the face of unimaginable terror, will forever be etched in our hearts. Their sacrifice, a testament to the spirit of our nation, inspires us to unite in sorrow and strength. As we remember those who perished and the families forever changed, let us also embrace the hope that rises from tragedy. Through organizations like ours, we strive to offer solace and support to those who carry the heavy burden of loss. Together, we build a future where the memory of 9/11 serves as a beacon of unity, where heroes are honored eternally, and where we stand as one nation, indivisible. #NeverForget #September11 #RememberAndHonor
