What We Do

Co-founded by two combat-wounded Veterans, Purple Heart Homes has been bringing communities together to provide safe, barrier-free housing solutions for qualified Veterans since its founding in 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. In Mecklenburg County, we have built ramps, widened doorways, remodeled bathrooms, and more. 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.
