Welcome to Heroes Into Homes
Should the words Homeless and Veteran be in the same sentence? We don't think so either. We are here to help.

About Us
Have you have ever thought or said, " there should be no homeless Veterans" but never knew how to help, this is a way for you to help us help them.
Heroes Into Homes is a 501C3 nonprofit Veteran assistance organization that helps homeless Veterans into homes. Working directly with the VA and VA HUD/VASH ( https://www.va.gov/homeless/hud-vash.asp ) counselors in Lincoln Nebraska in a coordinated effort between many other organizations, Heroes Into Homes has a goal to supply new and gently used furnishings and everything needed to turn an empty apartment into a home for formerly homeless Veterans.
When the VA HUD/VASH counselors get a homeless veteran off the streets and into an apartment, they usually only have a few clothes to their name and nothing else. This is where Heroes Into Homes comes in.
We supply the Veteran with new and gently used items like a bed, bedding, pillow, blankets, dresser, end tables, lamps, couch, kitchen table and chairs, plates, cups, glasses, cooking utensils, pots, pans, cleaning supplies, laundry soap, bath soap, towels, hand towels, wash cloths. We also give them some groceries and other necessities they may need.
We can only do this with the help of the community.
With our communities help we have been able to turn all 70 apartments at the new Victory Park Complex on the Lincoln VA campus into homes. The complex was at capacity within 6 months of opening, but there is constant turnover for various reasons like any other apartment complex. Everything that is in the apartment belongs to the veteran and they can take it with them if they move. As a result, we continue to refurnish the units for the next tenant with the basics and groceries.
We wouldn’t leave anybody behind on the battlefield, and we will not leave anybody behind at home.
