Housing That Meets Your Needs and Fits Your Budget
According to the Pew Research Center and the U.S. Census Bureau, 36% of all American households rent their homes. That’s over 44 million homes. These families, many of which include transitioning service members, are the foundation of our communities. We believe that affordable housing is key to reducing Veteran homelessness and ensuring that transitioning service members have a solid start after separating from the military.
Below, you will find guides and resources for finding the housing solution that’s right for you and your family.
