Our Work
Operation Homefront offers valuable and life-changing programs to support military families, thanks to the generosity of the American donor community. These programs address specific needs, making military families stronger, more stable, and more secure.
For over twenty years, Operation Homefront has been dedicated to serving America’s military families by providing various programs and services. These include veteran housing assistance, financial assistance for veterans, and food assistance for military families. We strive to offer relief through our critical financial assistance and transitional housing programs, promote resiliency by providing permanent housing, and provide recurring family support with programs and services available throughout the year. We are proud to say that 88 percent of our expenditures go directly toward delivering these critical programs. As a fully accredited organization, we are committed to ensuring that our resources are used as effectively as possible to serve those who have served our country.

Relief Programs
At Operation Homefront, we understand the unique challenges faced by military families, which is why we offer short-term relief through our Critical Financial Assistance program. This program is designed to help military families pay bills such as rent or mortgage, which are among the top three requests from military families, alongside food and groceries, and utilities. Our commitment to providing emergency financial assistance for veterans and food assistance for military families is unwavering.
Our Transitional Housing (Villages), Transitional Housing (Apartments), and Transitional Homes for Veterans are housing assistance programs that provide a supportive environment for service members who are leaving the military for civilian life.
