Purple Heart Homes, Statesville, N.C., will be on the floor at next week’s International Builders Show in Orlando seeking to partner with HBA member contractors and suppliers to support veterans in their communities.
Purple Heart Homes, a national 501(c)3 public charity, is dedicated to providing housing solutions for Service Connected Disabled Veterans that are substantial in function and design. These housing solutions range from renovating homes to meet the needs of disabled veterans to helping disabled veterans obtain the dream of home ownership. All of Purple Heart Homes’ projects include adapting homes to ensure accessibility and sustainability, enabling veterans of all ages and eras to live and age safely in place. Purple Heart Homes has developed two new initiatives and multiple opportunities for local Home Builders Associations and their member organizations to help disabled veterans. While at the International Builders Show, Purple Heart Homes will be providing an update on two new initiatives established to bring their services to every community.
The organization will be housed at exhibit booth number W17 in the West Concourse at the International Builders Show, or visit www.phhusa.org to learn more about how you can help Purple Heart Homes in its mission to provide housing solutions for Service Connected Disabled Veterans.
Purple Heart Homes was founded by Dale Beatty and John Gallina, two Iraq combat wounded veterans who remain on a mission to provide housing solutions for Service Connected Disabled Veterans that are substantial in function, design and quality. Purple Heart Homes has two programs: Veterans Aging in Place(VAIP), which encompasses the Operation Veterans Home Renovation Project (OVHR), and The Veterans Home Ownership Program (VHOP). From building a ramp for wheelchair-bound veterans to providing home ownership opportunities to veterans with physical as well as invisible injuries, Purple Heart Homes’ programs are designed out of necessity and fit the specific needs of veterans of all ages and from all eras, helping them to live and age in place, in their own safe, accessible and sustainable homes.
