The Permanent Homes for Veterans program is an initiative designed to provide housing for veterans looking for stable, long-term solutions.

The program recognizes the need for safe and affordable housing for veterans who have served their country and works to provide them with the support and resources they need to succeed.

The program is unique in that it offers a two years mortgage-free home to the veteran after the successful completion of the program.

Through the Permanent Homes for Veterans program, veterans are given access to a range of resources and services designed to help them succeed in their new homes. 

The PHV program provides veterans with the opportunity to move into an Operation Homefront home and work directly with caseworkers and other financial counselors to learn and plan for home ownership.

Honorably discharged veterans, retirees or Reservists and National Guard that are currently serving can apply for a home through the Permanent Homes for Veterans program. All veterans that served honorably are eligible to apply, no matter what era they served (Vietnam, Korea, Desert Storm, Desert Shield, OEF, OIF).

Veterans do not have to be injured or have a deployment to apply. Surviving spouses of service members killed in combat or while deployed in the combat theater of operations and are not remarried or engaged to be married may also apply.

In order to apply for a home, you will need to create an account or have an existing account with Operation Homefront. Once you click the “Apply Now” button below you will be taken to My Operation Homefront to create an account or log in. 

The selection committee does consider income and expenses. Though these are mortgage-free homes, the family should expect to cover expenses that are common to home ownership such as paying the property taxes, insurance, warranty, HOA fees (if applicable) and $100 per month toward closing costs. Savings is required. The recipient will need to pay a $500 deposit, moving expenses, utility service costs, etc.
