Wisconsin Veteran Receives Keys To New Home

Home Built Entirely By Volunteers

An injured Wisconsin soldier now has the keys to a brand new home built entirely by volunteers.

Escorted by veterans, police officers, and firefighters, the Schulz family arrived at their new home Saturday.

Army Specialist Jason Schulz lost both of his legs while serving in Iraq.

Re: Wisconsin Veteran Receives Keys To New Home

Great story. It reminds me of what the people of Tennessee did for Sgt. Alvin York. It shouldn't be such an uncommon story.

Re: Wisconsin Veteran Receives Keys To New Home

Just thought I'd add this as sort of an update:

We are Homes for Our Troops, a national non-profit, non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2004. We are strongly committed to helping those who have selflessly given to our country and have returned home with serious disabilities and injuries since September 11, 2001. It is our duty and our honor to assist severely injured Servicemen and Servicewomen and their immediate families by raising donations of money, building materials and professional labor and to coordinate the process of building a home that provides maximum freedom of movement and the ability to live more independently.

The homes provided by Homes for Our Troops are given at NO COST to the Veterans we serve.
Note: An eligible Veteran or service member may receive a Veterans Administration Specially Adapted Housing Grant up to a maximum amount of $63,780. Homes for Our Troops’ assistance covers all costs over and above this grant and works closely with the VA to ensure that when our resources are combined, the home is provided at no cost to the recipient.
