Veteran Homeownership, Home Repairs, & Veterans Build
Empowering military veterans through home ownership, home repairs and camaraderie building events.
At DuPage and Chicago South Suburbs Habitat for Humanity, we believe that every veteran family deserves a decent place to call home. Our Veterans Build Program works to empower veterans through home ownership opportunities, critical home repairs and camaraderie building events.
DuPage and Chicago South Suburbs Habitat are actively addressing the lack of affordable housing by partnering with military service members, their families, and veterans to help build and repair affordable housing. Habitat’s hand-up not a hand-out approach asks partner families to invest sweat-equity hours to build their home and volunteer with us.
Veterans Open House May 21st, 11am - 6pm
