Can you help us?
Houses for Warriors is currently in Stage 1 of fundraising for its flagship project in Colorado – The Warrior House Program. The Program is designed to provide stable housing for transitioning homeless and at-risk veterans, along with vocational training and apprenticeships in the construction industry.
Not only will the Warrior House give veterans the opportunity to live with dignity and independence, the house will be a hub for veteran resources – providing everything from job training to help accessing VA benefits to those who live there.

About us

We provide FREE and donated home repairs and major renovations to our injured Warriors experiencing financial hardships.

It is our honor to serve our Warriors that have sacrificed so much for our country.
Warrior Home renovations
CHECK OUT OUR 2020 PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
Delbert Stracener is an Army Veteran who was diagnosed with spinal cancer in 2016. Del’s home was in dire need of major home repairs and could not afford the cost to fix his home. With holes in the roof and busted skylights, no accessibility and mold spreading throughout the house, we took it upon ourselves to organize a much needed home renovation!
With the help of local business like Valor Roofing and Solar, Velux, CO Clean-Up Services, Kycor Plumbing, Waste Connections Colorado and many more, we provided a $97,000 home renovation in just under 5 weeks with only volunteers!

an investment opportunity that gives back
Are you looking for an investment opportunity that makes a social impact?
Charity Partners and investors are essential to Houses for Warriors because their funding helps us leverage cash to get great deals on distressed and discounted properties that we can then refurbish and offer to the graduates of our Warrior House Programs.
Private funding also helps us accept more property donations and expand our transitional Warrior House Programs. Not all of the real estate that is donated to Houses for Warriors are total donations.
All private loans are secured by the property with a mortgage deed, promissory note, and full-coverage property insurance. Once we flip a house, we market the home as a VA approved home and try to sell it to a VA home-buyer. After the home is sold, we pay back our private lenders their loan with interest. We then use a balance of the profits to expand our homeless transition programs. Investors don’t have to donate money to help us achieve our mission – they earn a profit AND help us donate houses!
Private lender provides the funding we need
All private loans are secured by the property with a mortgage deed, promissory note and full coverage property insurance.
We buy, fix and sell the property for veterans in need
With cash from our investors, we buy and repair houses, then we place them back on the market.
Investors are paid back their loans with interest
Once we flip a house, we pay our investors back with interest, giving them a solid return on a sound investment.
Profit goes back into transitional housing program
Homebuyers of the flipped house gets a quality home. We get the cash needed to buy and retrofit houses to be donated to wounded warriors.
