Purple Heart Homes is proud to announce it has become licensed to build modular Veteran Tiny Homes (VTH) at its North Carolina manufacturing facility, and will place the homes in Virginia for veterans facing homelessness and housing insecurity.
The initiative comes in response to numerous applications from veterans in Virginia who are in need of a safe and stable place to call home.
The VTHs are designed as traditional stick-built homes, placed on a permanent block foundation, providing veterans with a sense of pride and ownership. The homes symbolize the respect and appreciation for their service to our nation.
The program expansion has been made possible through the generous support of The Home Depot Foundation, which has been a vital partner in advancing housing solutions for veterans.
“Purple Heart Homes has been serving veterans in Virginia since 2016 through our Aging in Place Program. In Virginia alone we have served 44 veterans and their families, investing over $365,000 into their homes to make
them safe and accessible. When we first started manufacturing Tiny Homes, we knew immediately that we wanted to expand into adjoining states. We are thankful for our partnership with The Home Depot Foundation, for their work supporting veteran housing and our first step of expansion of the Tiny Home program into the state of Virginia,” said John Gallina, Co-Founder and CEO of Purple Heart Homes.
The introduction of modular Veteran Tiny Homes represents a significant step forward in addressing the urgent
need for housing solutions for veterans. Purple Heart Homes remains committed to ensuring that individuals who
have served our country are provided with the dignity and respect they deserve through safe and secure housing
options.
Co-founded by two combat-wounded veterans, Purple Heart Homes has brought communities together to provide safe, barrier-free housing solutions for qualified veterans since 2008. A nonprofit organization based in Statesville, N.C., PHH supports service-connected disabled and senior veterans from all eras across the continental U.S., Hawaii and Puerto Rico through a growing network of local chapters. Programs include critical home repairs and renovations to help veterans live independently in their homes, home ownership programs and transitional housing through partnerships with other nonprofit organizations.
