Homes on the Homefront
As a way to show gratitude for helping
to keep our country free, Operation Homefront has created the Homes on the
Homefront program through a new partnership with Chase Bank. Under the Homes on the Homefront program,
Chase will donate at least 100 homes this year for Wounded Warrior, military,
and veteran families. Operation Homefront will administer the program,
providing ongoing transitional services to the families until such time the
properties are actually deeded to the recipients. This is an opportunity for our
warriors and their families realize their own American dream of home
ownership.
Interested families need to apply and qualify to be
considered. 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. Selection is made by a
housing committee on a case-by-case basis and includes such factors as:
financial need, connection to the local community where the home is available,
injury status, family size, etc.
