Construction
HabiJax brings people together to support U.S. veterans, military service members, and their families in the work of building safe and affordable, quality homes.
9,097+
veteran-headed households
across the U.S. who have
partnered with Habitat for
safe and stable housing.
Why focus on veteran and military-connected households?
- 25.7% of Florida’s 1 million+ veterans are cost-burdened by housing.*
- 59% of Florida’s veteran renters under the United Way’s ALICE threshold (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) are cost-burdened.*
- Post 9-11 veterans are 5% less likely than their non-veteran peers to be able to afford housing.*
- Among veterans who are single mothers, nearly half are spending more than 30% of their income on housing.*
Sponsor a Home
Help veterans and military-connected families thrive. A limited number of Heroes Build home sponsorships are still available.
- Make your values visible – few things demonstrate genuine support of our military community more than providing a decent place to live.
- Build beautiful homes and better futures alongside a cohort of qualified veteran/military homebuyers. Your team can have up to eight exclusive construction volunteer days.
- Take pride in your contribution – the safety and stability of homeownership helps ease the transition from military to civilian life.
For more information on sponsorship, contact Chief Community Partnerships Officer Chris Folds.
