Veterans Build Initiative

Paint Rollers in Green, Red, Orange and Blue

The National Low Income Housing Coalition finds that 2.5 million veterans heading households are at least 55 years of age. Of those 2.5 million veterans, 24 percent have housing cost burdens. Unlike our older civilians, our older veterans are more likely to have a disability — 35 percent versus 28 percent — which may require home modifications, health, and other supportive services as they age.

Moreover, the financial strain on our veterans is alarming. Nearly 4 million of our veterans pay at least 30 percent of their income toward rent or mortgage, while more than 1.5 million pay at least 50 percent. As you can imagine, using half of your income to pay your rent or mortgage is an enormous strain on any budget, and for our veterans, it's a crisis that needs immediate attention.

Veterans Build

With the help of community sponsors, we can build and repair homes for veterans and their families. When available, individuals and group volunteers can sign up to build on veteran homes through our volunteer portal, VolunteerHub.

The Texas Veterans Commission Fund for Veterans’ Assistance grant supports our Veterans Initiative. The Fund for Veterans’ Assistance provides grants to organizations serving veterans and their families. For more information, visit www.TVC.Texas.gov.
