HOW IT WORKS
Asking for help should not feel complicated.
Tell Homeland Heroes Foundation what is going on, what kind of support you need, and how we can reach you.
HHF will review the request and explain the next step based on the situation and available resources.
Start Here
You do not need to know the name of a program before asking for help.
Some veterans contact HHF because they need furniture. Others may need food, gas, temporary lodging, help with a utility bill, or another essential need.
Start by telling HHF what is happening and what would help most.
The Assistance Process
From your first message to learning the next step, here is how the HHF assistance process works.
Complete the Veteran Assistance form with your contact information and a clear explanation of the situation. You can select the type of assistance that most closely matches your need. If you are not sure which category fits, explain the situation in your own words.
START YOUR REQUESTA member of the HHF team reviews the information you provide. The team looks at the type of need, eligibility, available resources, and other information relevant to the request.
Some requests may require additional information or documentation before HHF can determine what assistance may be available. If something else is needed, the team will explain what to provide.
If HHF can assist, the team will explain what support may be available and what happens next. If HHF cannot provide the requested assistance directly, the team may be able to point you toward another veteran, public, or community resource when possible.
What HHF May Help With
HHF reviews each request individually. These are the main types of support that may be available depending on the situation and resources.
HHF may be able to help with furniture and household essentials depending on current inventory and the circumstances of the request.
FURNITURE ASSISTANCEHHF may be able to help with approved needs such as food, gas, temporary lodging, utilities, and other urgent household expenses.
EMERGENCY ASSISTANCEIf another organization or public resource is a better fit, HHF may be able to help point you in the right direction.

A DD214 may be relevant for some veterans, but requirements can vary depending on the request.

HHF will review the request as soon as possible.

Next Steps
