Homes For Veterans is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for disabled and at-risk veterans by providing barrier-free home modifications and repairs at no cost. The private company is based in Harrington Park, NJ. The organization funds and facilitates home adaptations such as wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, ramps, ADA-compliant kitchens, and elevator installations, enabling veterans to live safely and independently. Veterans apply to the program and may select their own contractors, with applications and estimates reviewed by the board. The organization partners with groups like Habitat for Humanity, Catholic Charities, Veteran Villages, and the Wounded Warrior Project to deliver services, and educates veterans about housing grants available for home modifications, including HISA, SHA, and SAH grants. Homes For Veterans also engages the community through fundraising campaigns, events, volunteer opportunities, and donation options. The company was founded by Douglas Dipaola.
