Homes For Our troops Celebrates our 15 Year Anniversary

February 4, 2019, marks the 15th Anniversary of Homes For Our Troops beginning its mission to build and donate specially adapted custom homes for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans. HFOT began with just one home for a Veteran in Middleboro, Mass., in 2004. Since then, HFOT has grown into an organization of over 60 employees and has built and donated more than 270 homes in 42 states, and currently has almost 80 ongoing projects.

Our organization has grown tremendously over the last 15 years, and you as our supporter have played a vital role in HFOT’s evolution. The hands-on, grassroots approach you helped us develop, and that we take pride in, has enabled us to significantly advance our mission. Your continuous support proves to have made an impact, with a large majority of Veterans saying they are able to rest and heal in a safe environment after receiving their homes. Many have gone on to continue school, start careers, and expand/start families because of the freedom and independence they regain from the home. Learn more about the impact you are making.

We are excited to celebrate this milestone with you throughout the year and look forward to continuing to Build Homes and Rebuild Lives!
