Donate<\/a> to “7 Days For The Troops<\/em>.” All proceeds from this event will go to Purple Heart Homes<\/a><\/em> and provide housing solutions and opportunities for U.S. Veterans.
*<\/span><\/strong>Purple Heart Homes<\/em> has two different programs that might be able to help Service-Connected Disabled Veterans looking for a housing solution. A Purple Heart is not required for either program.<\/strong><\/span>
– Veterans Aging in Place (VAIP):<\/em> This program is designed for Service Connected Disabled Veterans who currently own their home and who need help with renovations or repairs to make that home safe and accessible.<\/strong><\/span>
– <\/span><\/strong>Veteran Home Opportunity Program (VHOP):<\/em> This program is designed for Service Connected Disabled Veterans who are either ready for the responsibility of home ownership, are looking for a rental home, or are interested in a Tiny Home. This program matches a qualified Veteran with a home that will meet their needs. The VHOP Program is limited by the homes we have available. Keep in mind our home inventory is constantly changing.<\/strong><\/span>
If you are interested in either program, please complete the Veteran Application for Support<\/a><\/span>. The application process includes a personal background check and credit checks. An internal committee will review all documentation to determine eligibility.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
