Our Villages Provide Place for Healing
Since 2008, our transitional housing village program has provided a place of renewal for 500+ military families, defraying more than $5 million in rent & utility costs. Read more.
Approximately 320,000 service members have experienced a traumatic brain injury in Iraq or Afghanistan. Many more have suffered from combat-related stress, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Learn what you can do to help.
How We Are Helping
Our mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive - not simply struggle to get by - in the communities that they've worked so hard to protect.
Occasionally, military families struggle and need help with rent or mortgage payments, major repairs, utility bills, or groceries. Operation Homefront has fulfilled over 41,000 requests from military families across the U.S., providing more than $25 million in relief through our Critical Financial Assistance program. At Operation Homefront, 92 percent of expenditures go toward delivering our programs and services.
