Critical Home Repairs for Veterans in Clark, Greene, and Montgomery Counties

Veterans honor our country through their service and sacrifice. In honor of their service, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Dayton does its best to ensure that local veterans and their partners have homes that are safe for them to live in. Here are some examples that show our Veteran Critical Repair Program in action.

Ms. Howard, widow of an Army Vietnam Purple Heart Recipient

Ms. Howard’s late husband was an Army Vietnam veteran and a Purple Heart recipient. This couple’s path was marked by immense sacrifices and hardships, the weight of which they carried together. However, as their struggles grew, they found themselves in need of assistance, and it was Dayton Habitat that extended a much needed helping hand. With your help, Dayton Habitat was able to replace Ms. Howard’s roof, renovate her bathroom, and make her porch more accessible. These improvements will keep her in the home that she shared with her husband for many years.

Vietnam Vet, Larry Jackson

Larry's roof was in bad shape. The roof repair was extensive and with the cost of wood these days, expensive as well. It needed 10 trusses and 21 sheets of OSB.“ I was a contractor 40 years and at one time could have done this for myself, but I have bad knees and a bad shoulder so I can’t get up there (on a roof) anymore", said Larry.
