A nonprofit – serving those who serve
We renovate homes, improve accessibility, and create safe housing for America's veterans, first responders, and the families who support them. Their service earned them a secure place to call home. We help make that possible.

Our first year of figures is being audited now. We would rather show you nothing than show you an estimate — the real numbers post here as soon as they are verified.
Why we exist
A retired firefighter can no longer manage the stairs at home. An Army sergeant comes back to a bathroom her wheelchair cannot access. A paramedic's family loses their lease just as his hours are reduced.
These needs rarely make headlines; they show up at home. Connections for Heroes meets them there with licensed contractors, trained case managers, and volunteers ready to work. We do more than offer advice: we repair homes, secure leases, install ramps, and follow up after the work is done.

What we do
Each program stands on its own — and most families we serve move through more than one.
Program 01
AI-generated image. It will be replaced with a real photo as they become available.
Critical repairs, safety upgrades, and full rehabs for veterans and first responders whose homes have outpaced their ability to maintain them. Roofs, wiring, HVAC, mold, structural work — at no cost to the family.

Program 02
AI-generated image. It will be replaced with a real photo as they become available.
Emergency placement when available, transitional units with case management, and a pathway to permanent placement. We cover deposits, arrears, and the first months that make a lease stick.
Explore housing
Program 03
AI-generated image. It will be replaced with a real photo as they become available.
Zero-step entries, roll-in showers, widened doorways, lowered counters, voice and app-controlled lighting, locks, and climate — so independence doesn't depend on someone else being home.
Explore accessibility
Program 04
AI-generated image. It will be replaced with a real photo as they become available.
We find, acquire, rehabilitate, and develop property to create housing that doesn't exist yet — apartments, multifamily housing, prefabricated homes, townhomes, and single-family builds. Placement only works if there is somewhere to place people.

Program 05

5Ks, ruck marches, golf classics, gala nights, and station open houses — the events that fund the builds, recruit the volunteers, and keep these needs visible in the communities where they happen.

Program 06

Caregiver relief, benefits navigation, emergency essentials, holiday support, and peer connection for spouses and kids. The whole household serves, yet it is often the last to ask for help.

Tell us what's going on, and a case manager will connect you with the right program or a trusted partner who can help. There are no costs and no obligation.
Story from the field
As projects are completed, this space will carry the household's own account of the work — with their permission, in their words, and with their approval of the final text.
We will not publish a story before the family has agreed to it.
In their words
Quotes from veterans, first responders, and family members will appear once each person has given written permission to share theirs.
How you can help
$100 stocks a welcome-home kit. $250 covers a night of emergency housing. Monthly gifts let us commit to a build before the money is in hand — which is how a family gets a start date instead of a maybe.
Donate nowSwing a hammer on a build day, run a supply drive, or lend a licensed trade. We train first-time volunteers on site — no experience needed, just a Saturday and a willingness to work.
VolunteerStand with us by hosting a 5K, contributing your company's skilled team, or sponsoring a build. Together, we can bring hope to your community.
Host or sponsorComing up
Show up. Take part however you can. Every event helps fund a build that wouldn't happen otherwise.
Dates, locations, and registration will be listed here as soon as they are confirmed. If you would like to host one in your community, we will help you run it.
Where your money goes
Each year, we publish our audited financials and Form 990. If you have questions about how funds are allocated, we'll answer them openly, because transparency is how we earn your trust.
Our program, fundraising, and administration breakdown publishes with our first audited financials. Until those are complete we are not putting a percentage on this page.
