Operation Finally Home• For wounded, ill or injured veterans, surviving spouses

and those looking to serve them…• …Operation FINALLY HOME is the national, non-profit

organization with a unique network of experienced builders, suppliers, and supporters.

• Operation FINALLY HOME brings together homebuilders, the military and communities to build custom, mortgage-free homes for veterans and their families,…

• …which provides a strong foundation to help them move forward while allowing others to show support, respect and appreciation for America’s veterans.

Vision

With faith in God and determined action, we will have hundreds of homes built annually across the nation for our Heroes, those who have sacrificed while wearing America’s

uniform in defense of our freedoms and values, helping them get their lives back on track after the hardships they

have faced.

Mission

At Operation FINALLY HOME, we provide custom-built, mortgage free homes to America’s military Heroes and the widows of the fallen who have sacrificed so much to defend

our freedoms and values.

How do we accomplish the mission?

We bring together corporate sponsors, builder associations, builders, developers, individual contributors, and volunteers to help these heroes and their families transition from the battle front to the home front by addressing one of their

most pressing needs – a home to call their own.

Goal

To build 100 homes annually by 2018

categories: • CAT 1: Mild injury or illness. Is expected to return to duty within a

time specified

• CAT 2: Has a serious injury or illness. Is unlikely to return to duty

within a time specified.

• CAT 3: Has a severe or catastrophic injury or illness. Is highly

unlikely to return to duty.

OFH primarily focuses on CAT 3 veterans and their families.
