Homes For Our Troops Home Award Program

Russ and Carol Gambill don't think they have better things to do than to spend so much time working to make coming home better for our combat wounded men and women. They love what they do because they love them. If you ever wanted to get involved with an organization doing great works, this is it. Homes For Our Troops is making sure more veterans have a place to come home to!

Homes for Our Troops has partnered up with a couple of the largest banking corporations in the country.

These banks are taking their bank owned homes and want to give them to qualifying Veterans and the surviving families of our servicemen and women who have perished during the OIF/OEF and Iraqi War.

Please read the email inserted below for instruction on applying and more information. If you are or know of someone who may qualify please pass this on.

Homes for Our Troops - "Home Award Program"

Dear HFOT Families, Friends, and Supporters,

We are excited to tell you about an expansion to Homes for Our Troops mission. We have recently added a “Home Award Program” that will allow us to provide the "American Dream" of home ownership to a broader population of deserving Americans; our nation's wounded and injured Veterans and to the spouses of our fallen service members, completely mortgage-free.

As an organization, we feel as though our nation's Veterans, especially the wounded and injured and Gold Star families have paid enough through their service and sacrifice and it's time for us to give back. We give back by providing mortgage-free homes to our deserving military families that would not normally qualify for our original “Specially Adapted Home Program.”

Homes for Our Troops will soon begin receiving donations of homes that are currently owned by national banks. These top-quality homes are in move-in condition and located throughout the country. The banks want to donate these homes to HFOT for Veterans and their families, mortgage-free! We would like to help as many applicants as possible and need your help in disseminating this word. Please share this email with anyone you know that could potentially qualify for the Home Award Program.

Basic Qualification Criteria
You are a Veteran that sustained injuries during combat or while deployed in support of combat operations after September 11, 2001.

You are Widow/Widower or dependent of a service member due to injuries sustained in combat or while deployed in support of combat operations after September 11, 2001. You plan to make your new "HFOT Home Award" home your primary residence for a minimum of three years.
