Check the My Operation Homefront website for any new homes open for application.
However, we do get homes all over the United States. Operation Homefront does not have any say of when, where, or how often we receive the homes. Every three months, the family will meet with an Operation Homefront case worker to ensure that they are building up their savings, learning how to budget for home repairs and routine maintenance, integrating into the community and school system, and other important home ownership criteria. Once a veteran looking for housing is matched to a home, they begin the two-year program. After a decision has been made, only the veteran matched will be contacted. Once presented, please allow one to four weeks for a decision. Viable applicants will be presented to the selection committee. During that time, applicants may be contacted if documents or additional information is needed to complete the application. HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?įor the veteran housing application, please allow 10-12 weeks for applications to be processed. For example: Is there family nearby? Friends? Stationed there before? From that area? Is there a school or VA with programs for the veteran and/or family? Are there potential job opportunities? Whatever the reason behind wanting to live in that area. The recipient should have community ties to the area where the home is located. The recipient will need to pay a $500 deposit, moving expenses, money to turn on utilities, etc. Though these are mortgage-free homes, the family should expect to cover expenses that are common to home ownership such as paying the property taxes, insurance, warranty, HOA fees (if applicable) and $100 per month toward closing costs. The selection committee does consider income and expenses. Surviving spouses of service members killed in combat or while deployed in the combat theater of operations and are not remarried or engaged to be married may also apply. Veterans do not have to be injured or have a deployment to apply. All veterans that served honorably are eligible to apply, no matter what era they served (Vietnam, Korea, Desert Storm, Desert Shield, OEF, OIF).
Honorably discharged veterans, retirees or Reservists and National Guard that are currently serving can apply for a home through the Permanent Homes for Veterans program.
