The Good Life – November-December 2016

Homes for our Troops (HFOT) is a
non-profit that helps build mortgage
free, specially adapted homes
nationwide for severely injured
veterans post-9/11 to help them
rebuild their lives.
HFOT provides pre and post
home delivery, financial planning,
household budgeting, home
ownership education and a fullyear
warranty coverage to ensure
the veteran is set up for long-term
success as a homeowner. Since
HFOT’s founding in 2004, nearly
90 cents out of every dollar donated
to HFOT has gone directly to
the program services supporting
veterans.
HFOT assists the most severely
injured service members of all
branches of the military who were
injured in the Iraq-Afghanistan war
since Sept. 11, 2001. HFOT builds
four-bedroom, two-bath, specially
adapted energy-efficient homes of
approximately 2,650 square feet
with more than 40 major special
adaptations to give the veteran full
access, including wider halls and
doorways, automatic door openers,
pull-down shelving and much more.
HFOT aims to build the highest
quality homes using top quality
products that endure the test of
time from brands like Kohler,
Whirlpool, etc. All homes are built to
Energy Star standards to maximize
efficiency and lower utility expense,
