About Homes for Our Troops

Homes for Our Troops (HFOT) is a national on-profit 501(c)3 organization based in Taunton, MA, founded in 2004.

Homes for Our Troops’ Mission

Homes for Our Troops’ mission is to build specially adapted homes for service members who have been severely injured in combat operations since September 11, 2001. All homes are built at NO cost to the veterans, through the donations of individuals, foundations, and corporate contributors.

Charity Ratings

Homes for Our Troops has received a Four Star Rating from Charity Navigator. Homes for Our Troops received a score of 69.15 out of a possible 70 points – a grade of 98.5%. Charity Watch has included Homes for Our Troops in their “Top-Rated Veterans & Military Charities” listing.
HFOT and CertaPro Painters

CertaPro Painters is proud to team up with Homes for Our Troops to raise money toward the funding of homes for our veterans. Not only are we raising money through donations and race events, our painters are working with the general contractors on each project to paint the interior of the home.

How does the program work?

Homes for Our Troops specially adapted homes go beyond ADA compliance. They feature single-level, open floor plans, roll-in showers, roll-under cooktops and sinks, and other standard accessibility items. Depending on the severity of the injury suffered by the veteran, the homes may also include specialized items including lift systems, keyless door entry, and voice activation controls.

Key facts:

  • An eligible veteran or service member may receive a VA Specially Adapted Housing Grant up to a maximum amount of $63,780.
  • Homes for Our Troops assistance covers all costs over and above this grant and they work closely with the VA to ensure that when their resources are combined, the home is provided at no cost to the Veteran.
