Transitional Housing (Apartments)
Transitioning to civilian life can be a daunting task for many veterans and military families. Operation Homefront's Transitional Housing (Apartments) program provides rent-free apartments for veterans who have honorably discharged within the past 4 years.
Among the many challenges they face is finding an affordable place to live and securing employment to support themselves and their loved ones. Recognizing this struggle, Operation Homefront has launched a new program aimed at providing veteran transitional housing.
Introducing Operation Homefront’s Transitional Housing (Apartments) program, which offers veterans a rent- and utilities-free apartment for one year, along with access to employment and financial counselor services to help them achieve stability and chart a path to long-term success post-military. This initiative provides a stable living environment for veterans as they adjust to civilian life, giving them a chance to focus on their goals and build a solid foundation for their future.

WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA FOR SELECTION?
Our committee will consider several factors when selecting an applicant, such as working towards financial stability, connection to the community where the apartment is located, and family size. We want to ensure that veterans who are chosen for this program are set up for success and have the best possible chance of thriving in their new environment.
ARE THE HOMES RENT-FREE?
Veterans will be required to pay a security deposit and pet deposit (if applicable), but Operation Homefront will cover rent and utilities. We believe that removing the financial burden of rent and utilities will help veterans to focus on achieving stability and success.
