Habitat for Humanity's Veterans Build program
Habitat for Humanity's Veterans Build is a national initiative aimed at providing homeownership, volunteer engagement, and employment opportunities to U.S. veterans, military service members and their families. Here’s a listing of the Habitat for Humanity affiliates that offer Veterans Build programs.
Repair Corp:
The Home Depot Foundation has generously funded critical repairs on the homes of veterans through Habitat for Humanity's Repair Corps Program since 2011. This program is open to all military veterans, provided they have received an honorable or general discharge, and it is not restricted to any specific veteran groups. While the primary focus of the program is on critical home repairs for veterans, the foundation has expressed their readiness to fund standard repairs on the homes of qualified veterans provided homes with critical needs take precedence.
We have Repair Corps Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the United States participating in the Repair Corps initiative; we would like to provide you a link that gives an overview of the program and provide a list of participating affiliates. Habitat for Humanity Repair Corps.

DoD Yellow Ribbon Program
The Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program is a DoD-wide effort to promote the well-being of National Guard and Reserve members, their families and communities, by connecting them with resources throughout the deployment cycle. Through Yellow Ribbon events, service members and loved ones connect with local resources before, during, and after deployments. Reintegration during post-deployment is a critical time for members of the Guard and Reserve, as they often live far from military installations and members of their units. Commanders and leaders play a critical role in assuring that Reserve service members and their families attend Yellow Ribbon events where they can access information on health care, education/training opportunities, financial, and legal benefits.
