Habitat for Humanity’s Veterans Build officially began in 2013 in response  to the grassroots Habitat efforts to serve the housing needs of returning  veterans. Habitat is now empowering military and veteran families in over  100 communities to achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they  need to build better lives for themselves.
Habitat’s Veterans Build program  focuses on five areas:

1. Building Safe, decent, affordable housing is the centerpiece of Veterans Build.  In many communities, Habitat has expanded programs to maintain and  preserve homes and make them more energy-efficient and affordable.  In partnership with the Home Depot Foundation, Habitat developed  the Repair Corps program to offer critical home repairs to veteran  homeowners.

2.  Employment. We capitalize on skill sets gained from military service by recruiting military veterans to work with Habitat for Humanity International or the Habitat office in their community as employees, board members, extended  volunteers, National Service members, interns or fellows.

3. Volunteer engagement. We provide volunteer experiences that can bring together veterans and military families with their neighbors, bridging the gap and easing the  transition to civilian life with fulfilling community engagement. 

4. Education. We are training Habitat  employees and volunteers in communities throughout the U.S. to better understand the military culture and increase effectiveness in interacting with veterans and military families. We offer financial education and literacy programs to support successful homeownership among veteran and military homeowners.

​5. Honor. Throughout the year, we host special events that pay tribute to veterans, raise awareness and mobilize volunteers.
