Building Homes for Heroes, Inc. is a small nonprofit based in Island Park, New York, that provides mortgage-free homes to wounded American service members and their families, aiming to reduce financial burden and support a more independent civilian life. Founded in 2006, the organization also offers programs such as financial planning, family funding, and emergency support, pairing each home recipient with a financial planning representative. Its governance model includes uncompensated leadership for the CEO and board, reflecting a focus on program delivery and responsible stewardship. It reports a high share of expenses devoted to program services—95.5% in its latest audited year, with a track record of at least 93% for many years. The organization estimates about one home is gifted or modified every 11 days, and it reached its 400th home milestone in December 2024. Recent partnerships with builders and industry groups, such as a 2026 collaboration with the Greater Orlando Builders Association, indicate ongoing expansion of its network.
