VETERANS BUILD HOME CONSTRUCTION
We are excited to begin construction soon on our annual featured Veterans Build home!
If you are an income-eligible veteran seeking an affordable homeownership opportunity, you do not have to wait for our next annual Veterans Build event. We build for veterans all year long. In addition to our Veterans Cottages, traditional 3 to 4-bedroom home construction is available.
Habitat Tampa Bay Hillsborough offers veterans the opportunity to purchase affordable, secure, well-built homes with no down payments and zero-interest mortgages. Program requirements for qualifying applicants include 300-375 sweat equity hours and completion of homeowner preparatory classes.
Income eligibility for a Habitat home is based on HUD’s Area Median Income for Hillsborough County. If you qualify, we could be building for YOU! Complete a Veterans Initial Screening Form!
Habitat for Humanity of Tampa Bay Hillsborough is certified by PsychArmor Institute as a Veteran Ready Organization. The certification is in recognition of the dedication of Habitat’s staff and volunteers to supporting veterans and the military community.
VETERANS BUILD WEEK OF SERVICE – November 4th through November 11th
Serving Those Who Served.
Veterans Build WEEK OF SERVICE is a Habitat for Humanity event that focuses on affordable home repair solutions for veterans and their families in Hillsborough County.
Veterans Build WEEK OF SERVICE occurs annually during the week leading up to Veterans Day. It is a home preservation service week and a call to action for volunteers and philanthropists looking to offer a helping hand to limited-income veteran homeowners in our community in need of home maintenance services. This home preservation event also focuses on increasing awareness of the challenges many veterans face in obtaining decent, stable shelter for themselves and their families and the affordable homeownership opportunities and services Habitat for Humanity offers through its Veterans Initiative program.
