Overview
Mission
To recognize and honor veterans and former first responders by providing free home repairs, safety modifications and maintenance services for those that are physically and/or financially unable to complete these tasks themselves. Additionally, we will develop programs that assist and encourage others to seek a life of service to our nation and our communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
Operation Home of Our Heroes supported veteran housing by providing critical home repairs, accessibility modifications, and maintenance services. We completed more than 40 projects in 2024. Operation Caregiver Support assisted 3 veteran wives that were caring for disabled veterans in 2024 with home maintenance. Operation Fast Rack assisted 16 veteran households in 2024.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
