Homes for Our Troops
Homes for Our Troops is a national non-profit, non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2004. They are strongly committed to helping those who have selflessly given to our country and have returned home with serious disabilities and injuries since September 11, 2001. Their purpose is to assist severely injured Servicemen and Servicewomen and their immediate families by raising donations of money, building materials and professional labor and to coordinate the process of building a home that provides maximum freedom of movement and the ability to live more independently. The homes provided by Homes for Our Troops are given at NO COST to the Veterans we serve. In its first two years, Homes for Our Troops built a handful of homes as it worked diligently to spread the word nationwide about its mission. Since then, the organization has grown into a national non-profit organization that has built and donated more than fifty specially adapted homes to severely injured Veterans. The organization continually has approximately 30 homes in various stages of construction across the United States and all the services that this organization provides is at no cost to the recipient. NEI member Cinda Lester, AIA, has volunteered to be the architect of record for a new house to be built for SPC Frank Pierson in Plainfield, Illinois, through Homes For Our Troops.(You can hear his story on the organization’s website.) At present, Homes For Our Troops is looking for all available trades, materials, contractors, etc. to be donated for this home. If you, or anyone you know, might be willing to donate, please pass this information along to them. Click here to see all the needs they have yet to fill.
If you have contacts, or would like to donate (especially for contracting), please fill out the in-kind donation form on the link above, contact Cinda, or contact:
