The Home Depot Foundation invites applications for its Veteran Housing Grants Program, which will award grants of between $100,000 and $500,000 to support new construction and the rehabilitation of multifamily, permanent supportive housing for veterans. Grants will be awarded solely for the physical construction of such housing (i.e., hard costs). The foundation does not provide funding for furnishings, rental subsidies, tenant services, etc. The target population served through the program is honorably discharged veterans, at or below 80 percent AMI.

Priority will be given to “large” cities, defined by the foundation as populations of more than 300,000 people. The foundation has identified a specific focus on projects in the following cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, San Diego, Seattle, and Tampa. 

To be eligible, applicants must be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, have been in good standing with the Internal Revenue Service for at least five years, and have a current operating budget of at least $300,000.
