Veterans Build

Empowering military veterans

through homeownership and camaraderie
  • Building a stronger community
  • Opportunities that help bridge the gap and ease the transition to civilian life 
  • Bring together veterans, military families and their neighbors

Veterans Build

The Veteran’s Build brings together a cross-section of veterans, local civic and business.

Through Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity’s Veterans Build, we make an intentional commitment to those who have served and are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, 24% of U.S. veterans are living in unaffordable housing situations. In addition, up to 35% may require home modifications, health, and other supportive services as they age.

Focus areas include:

Employment

We value skill sets gained from military service and prioritize interviews for qualified candidates who are or have served.

Education

We offer financial education through our Affordable Homeownership Program. These classes are available at no cost to those who are or have served.

Volunteer

We partner with groups from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, local VFWs, and more to provide volunteer and partnership opportunities that bring together veterans, military families, and civilian neighbors to help bridge the gap between the military and civilian life.

Honor

Throughout the year, we host events and special projects to pay tribute to veterans, raise awareness, and mobilize volunteers.
