Homes for the Homefront - Possible as Operation Homefront Partners to Donate Homes to Veterans
Operation
Homefront, the national nonprofit that provides emergency assistance to
military families and Wounded Warriors, today launched a partnership with
Chase that will put at least
100 Wounded Warrior, military, and veteran families permanently into homes
this year. The bank is providing the homes and other support to enable
Operation Homefront to administer the “Homes on the Homefront”
program. Operation Homefront will provide ongoing transitional services to the
families until such time the properties are actually deeded to the
recipients.
Operation Homefront and Chase will match homes in the
bank’s inventory with deserving families served by the nonprofit. Some of the
requirements that applicants must meet include: 1) be active duty, Guard or
Reserve, or have been honorably discharged, 2) not currently own a home, 3) be
financially capable of sustaining the home throughout an initial transition
period and beyond.
The program’s first priority will be to place
families who currently live at an Operation Homefront Village, which provides
transitional housing for Wounded Warrior families. Other Wounded Warriors,
surviving single spouses of those killed-in-action, and post-9/11 disabled
veterans will also receive priority consideration under the program. Any
veteran of any era, regardless of wounded or disability status, will be
eligible to apply.
“This is an incredible gift from Chase to our
men and women in uniform,” said Jim Knotts, President and CEO of Operation
Homefront. “Chase’s imaginative, nation-wide approach to providing quality
homes to deserving service members and their families will make a huge
difference in how these heroes can make that difficult transition and
adjustment into productive civilian lives.”
